I was at a demonstration the other day and one of the quilters mentioned a complaint that I also have. Quilts are too stiff and uncomfortable to be cozy. Then another member said she always uses wool batting as it is warm in winter and cool in summer. Comments? Betsy Boo

OMG! It is my batting of choice. I use wool for my personal quilts. For charity quilts I use Mountain Mist 100 percent cotton. If you have never free motioned quilted a quilt using wool, you are in for a surprise. It quilts like butter!

I also love wool! Since its so expensive I just use it for the most special quilts. However I have a side comment about the quilts being stiff....remember that the more quilting you put on a quilt, the stiffer the quilt will be and it will also be less warm, because there are less voids in the layers to trap air. Thanks Mary B, I will look for Matildas Own Wool and Poly blend, I would like to try that!
