It all makes so much more sense now!<br /><br />So far, I have made two 'play' quilts for my grandson; I used all cotton - fabric, thread and batting - in both.<br /><br />The quilt I am working on now is a "cocktail" - cotton fabric, fusible webbing, polyester thread (how did I let them talk me into that?) and now my new teacher wants me to use wool/polyester batting. The project is "quilt as you go", an applique block at a time and will eventually be a king single bed quilt. I don't know what I will do yet. Perhaps I should try the wool/polyester just to see what I prefer?<br /><br />Thank you again Rebecca.Lynnehttp://2hot2knit.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6706014191709190790.post-56878052770780409312011-06-02T14:07:28.600+10:002011-06-02T14:07:28.600+10:00I never new there were so many options!

I used it on a few quilts, but it was a mess to work with. I am so glad that there is a much wider variety, now that I am quilting again. I use a cotton/poly blend that works very well for me, and keeps me warm on cool evenings. I really like the bamboo/cotton blend for smaller pieces. It just has a wonderful feel to it.Miki Willahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01903615512823465964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6706014191709190790.post-28346966903657998652011-06-02T08:09:29.239+10:002011-06-02T08:09:29.239+10:00It's so helpful to see all of these descriptio...It's so helpful to see all of these descriptions in one place.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02568944733073812787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6706014191709190790.post-23240294851456630052011-06-02T07:24:14.612+10:002011-06-02T07:24:14.612+10:00Thank you for this post Bec, I have always been sl...Thank you for this post Bec, I have always been slightly confused about which batting to use.

They also make one from recycled bottles called Dream Green. I use this in a lot of my charity quilts or kids quilts (when not using a lot of white fabric, cuz the batting is actually light green.) It is cheaper and uses recycled materials.
