I want to start making a couple of baby quilts for my Niece who is expecting twins (don't know the gender yet) and wanted to know what would be the best type of batting to use in the quilts. I had used Warm and Natural cotton batting for some of my other quilts and wondered if this would be best for baby quilts. Thanks.

Re: What kind of batting
My preference is always Mountain Mist Cream Rose, but because I no longer drive, due to vision issues, I've been using the Fairfiekd 80/20, which is carried by WM... It's pretty good... I haven't had any problems with it...
My neice had tend, too! Annie and .joey... They are four now, and so much fun....

Re: What kind of batting
I found some polyester batting in a fabric store. Is there some reason why this wouldn't be good for a lab quilt to be used outdoors?
It was inexpensive and relatively thin (about an inch in thickness). Does cotton batting ever shrink?
Thanks for the help and advice!

Re: What kind of batting
I also use Hobbs 80/20 for everything. I do a lot of childrens donation quilts. It also works in my quilts the foot quilts and any runners I make. Makes it easy to only stock 1 type.sigpic:icon_hug: Iris Girl = April = fabric, Fabric FABRIC!!
