Batting Recommendations
I am about done with my six year old granddaughter's quilt top but need to find the right batting. They live in south Florida so I need batting as light weight as possible. I've never done a light weight quilt before.
What batting should I use? I have to use something so the quilt will hold up to the usage.

On my last quilt, I used Hobbs Tuscany 80% Cotton/20% wool and love it so much, ordered a 30 yard roll. We often think of wool as only a cold weather product . . .but the quilt stays cool, is light weight, has the best hand of any batting I've tried, incredibly, there's less shrinkage.

I agree. I use Hobbs 80/20 batting since it's creation and never had a problem. Will have to try this Tuscany they make.

I live in Florida, and, I also use the Hobbs 80/20. With the air on, it is just fine. With the air off, I am sure it would be too hot. But, then, I'm sure with the air off, anything would be too hot. lol I might just have to try that silk batting. It sounds nice.
