I use warm and natural, it's convenient to get and the price is reasonable.

Whatever you try to use, keep notes. I have learned this the hard way. I have used Quilters Dream, Warm & Natural, Hobbs 80/20 and Theramore. I have no idea what is in each quilt. Some I like, some I don't like. So now I take notes on what's in what.

I'm still working through a roll of warm and natural that I ordered from Joann's on line when it was 50% off. I got the 90 in width.

I think it also depends on how many quilts you are making. At the speed I complete a top (that would be "not fast")and the amount of money and effort i have in it, it seems silly not to use Quilter's Dream. OTOH, if you are prolific with charity quilts, i'd use W&N. I think the two feel completely different. Harriet Hargrave says that W&N was designed as window shade insulation, and, to me, that's about what it feels like.

If you need to buy it at Joann's, I'd consider one of the other types they carry. Hobbs products are well-regarded.

QD does come in a roll (I've seen it at a LQS), but I'd expect it's pretty pricey.

I like 80/20. Good price and the best of both worlds.

I agree with the others that have suggested making some notes and trying different brands/types of batting to find your preference. I use W&N, have no issues with it and hand quilt it. But that's me. Since you're new to the quilting world, like many other things, you'll find what works for you. And you'll probably find your tastes/styles change over the years.

Exactly what I was thinking!!

Batting on the roll will be on sale again, some-where, some time. In the mean time if you've not worked with very many battings try as many as you can and see what you like first then the next time a roll sale of a batting you know you like comes along, snatch it up.

I like the warm and natural, but beware, if you are doing a predominately white quilt you will want to use warm and white. The natural will show through!
