    Default Batting recommendations

    I'm a hand quilter working on my largest project yet, a queen sized quilt. I will be using a Grace frame for the quilting. I would like recommendations for a batting. I'm looking for a lighter weight but not puffy. I've used an 80/20 batting on smaller projects and I'm wondering if this would be my best choice. The batting needs to be white as it's a blue Dresden plate on a white background. Your advice would be appreciated.

    I love Mountain Mist's Rose Cream... It is light, and has a lovely drape....and is wonderful for hand quilting.

    I also think the Mountain Mist Cream Rose would be an excellent choice, but not sure it comes in white. I've always seen it in the natural color. Has a wonderful drape, lower loft and oh so soft.

    I nearly always use Quilters Dream Request batting. It is very lightweight and makes my quilts look great.

    I'm partial to bamboo. It has a really soft drape and FMQ is really easy on it.
