What color/s are your quilt top and backing? Will the color of batting that may show tthrough the lighter fabrics look OK?
Both cotton and cotton/polyester blend battings are all-around good choices for many quilts. Polyester may be warmer and have more puffiness or texture. Wool is warm, light wieght and adds a puffy texture like polyester. Wool also easily releases creases or wrinkles making it a good choice if you intend to enter a quilt to in a show or competition. There are flame retardant battings and newer battings made from eco-friendly materials. Standard batting colors are white, natural, and black although some battings are other colors depending on what they are made from. Occasionally fabrics such as cotton flannel or polar fleece are used as batting, especially when you want a flatter look or lighter weight. We are happy to help you select batting that will meet your needs. Or for more detailed information about batting, click here.
