Thanks for all the feedback! Does anyone know of a site that compares quilts with different battings? I will have to google...
I have a king size quilt that I will be quilting soon, my first attempt on a long arm. I will have to research a bit, but I think I will try out an 80/20, or maybe doubling up a poly and a cotton. I like heavier quilts, not really enjoying the flat look of the four quilts I have completed using just a cotton batting. I think three of them are Quilter's Dream and then of course there is the W&N one I wrote about here.

I just finished a quilt yesterday with the Warm and Plush. I will post a pic today. It hasn't been washed yet but it does seem to have more pouf than the traditional W & N.

I just ordered a queen sized Warm and Plush from Amazon...this is why I LOVE this board!! I wouldn't have given this a try without all the discussion. I always learn something from the Quilting Board.

I am making a quilt with Warm and Plush. It's really nice. My longarmer loved working with it too. It is made by the same company and is quite a bit thicker. I'll post after I get the binding on. The quilting really shows up.

I totally agree. When you get to see it being used by the recipients and not for a mechanic drape on a car or truck. It's a little thin. Maybe it is just much more relaxed (softer) from use.
How wonderful for you to see the quilt has been loved and used! Sounds like your quilt gift was a huge success! Maybe you could make him another "big boy" quilt now? I am a fairly new quilter and don't have any experience with a 'well used' quilt for guidance, but nice to see your gift is loved.
