Warm and white is my choice for charity quilting. It's not puffy and my Gammil likes it. It's all poly and durable.

I use the Pellon 80/20 for all my quilts. Honestly I can't tell the difference between it and Hobbs once it's in the quilt and the Pellon is a better price.

I’m confused! My warm and white package says it’s cotton.....

Maybe another option would be flannel. Definitely would have to pre wash. I have made quilts with flannel as batting because they come out thinner and in CA, it's perfect. My aunt always uses flannel in the middle of her quilts also. The quilting isn't as noticeable as warm & natural batting or the fluffy batting.

I just ordered a roll from Walmart and it cost me $61.64 delivered to my door. The difference between pickup and delivery was $1 plus 20 cents, I think. I cannot drive to store for that amount. Saves a trip.

Thanks for this information. I just ordered a roll of this. I make a lot of charity quilts and this is good to know. I have been using 80-20 Hobbs batting & it is very expensive.

I purchased a roll of W&N a few years ago and still have a bit left on it that I will use for charity quilts. I have since purchased a new roll of Hobbs and will use it on personal quilts.

I belong to a quilt club whose "mission" is to make charity quilts We use an 80/20 blend. Keeps everyone happy.

We are making over 200 charity quilts every year for World Relief. We are using Poly Batting 60" wide. Is there any good companies to buy big Rolls at a reasonable price ? The Batting we are getting is not very good. Too many thin and thick places. Thanks for any info.

I’m making children’s charity quilts and I’m going to use flannel. I got a whole bolt at Joann’s with a 60% off coupon. They want something to cuddle with and I think this will be perfect.
