    I've used Warm and Natural or Warm and White for years. Buy an entire bolt of 40 yards when Joanns store has it on sale or on line with free shipping. Will last you a long time!!! This stuff wears like iron...is a dream to machine quilt....washes and drys to give you the wonder ''old fashioned'' look of an antique quilt. LOVE W&N!!

    I've used both Quilter's Dream poly and Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 cotton and both have lasted years and years. The oldest baby quilt is 10 years old and it's still in great shape.

    I don't like Warm and Natural for anything.

    this is what Id like to hear.. that even after 5-10-15 years the quilt may be used and tattered but batting still holding strong
