warn and natural is the way that I would go. but it just depends on the parents and how "eco-ala-natural" they are going. ie cloth diapers no chemicals in the house makes their own cloths will only use certain types of material and eats only from healthy food stores.
I went with a warm and natural for a mommy who was going very "natural" with her baby. (she is a first timer) she has kept it up also. more love to her.

I've used it in a lot of kids quilts and it has done beautifully. Love those Joanns 50% and free shipping coupons.

Being less than 2 years into quilting I don't have experience as to how my Warm & natural quilts will hold up 10 years from now.. plus Ive given them to family and they are 'super' careful when washing and drying so I cannot attest to how would any of my baby quilts battings would hold up.. So im asking those of you who have knowledge on childs quilts batting that are 5+ years old that have gone thu millions of washing and draggings arounds.. Which ones have held up to a child's love?? What batting have you used in them??

My daughters first quilt is 7 years old and has warm n natural in it and has held together really well considering the blocks were 10" and stitched in the ditch. She has a queen size quilt on her bed I made 5 years ago and it has warm n natural as well and is holding up with weekly washings/drying.

The two oldest girls still use their quilts for nap quilts and lap quilts. They're not even slightly tattered yet. I'm pretty sure both of those quilts have Hobb's Heirloom 80/20. I only used Warm and Natural for the first two twin size quilts I made. They have a lot firmer surface and they're not as cuddly as the Hobb's batting.

Warm n natural. Washes like a dream. Made a quilt for teen age son and used polly...fell apart. So sad.

Does it get 'bunchy' ?

I really love working with warm & natural, machines well for me but like i mentioned before my quilts are still pretty new to see of the batting 'falls apart' sandwiched between the top and bottom..

Ive used polly too for the 'fluff' factor but again still too soon to see if it holds up and doesn't 'bunch' between where its quilted..

What do you mean by bunchy? I did not pre wash my fabric so that it would shrink around the quilting. I dont have any clumps of batting, it is still in its original shape. The queen size was stippled from edge to edge and again was not prewashed for the shrink effect.

I think that if you follow the guidelines for how close together the quilting lines need to be, either poly or W&N will last at least as long as the binding and outer fabric.
