depends on the quilt...i love wool batts and use them in the 'big- very special quilts..they are expensive. I use cotton alot...just like to work with it too...and i use poly usually for the "utility" quilts...kids quilts ; quilts that will be used and abused and washed/dried alot....the cotton and wool batts wash up wonderfully too but i like the poly for kids quilts it seems to hold up very well and takes a beating.
and for the really really special quilts the silk blend is OMG wonderful!

Where do I find all these different batting? I do not have a JoAnn my LGS don't carry much(I'll check tomorrow) the only place I have to buy it is wally world.

I wouldn't. Cotton would hold up a lot better. Close quilting would help too (2" or 3" apart).

Check prices online also. Most of the time you can get batting cheaper from joanns than at walmart. Do a search for joann coupons and you should be able to find 40 of 50% off coupons.

I buy remnant white and natural fleece whenever I see them and use those as batting.
