Batting Question/Rec Needed
I have only used low loft batting with 1/4 inch thickness and 100% cotton, but I would like to try a batting with a slightly higher loft so that it puffs a little after being quilted and drapes more than the low loft. I am guessing something that is an 80/20 cotton blend. I would appreciate any recommendations that can be offered. Thanks so much.

Yes, I agree withPrism99 and the Hobbs 80/20. If you like the "puffed" look, you might try washing your quilt after you've bound it. To me that makes the quilting definition more noticeable.

hobbs 80/20 or one of the wonderful Dream batts- my favorite is dream wool (the hobbs wool is very nice too) the wool batts are washable- do not shrink like cotton, are soft & lofty---make the coziest, fluffiest, most wonderful quilts!
many of the poly batts are also loftier & warmer than a cotton batt.
