I think the quilt is beautiful the way it is. I try to split a heavy batting once with mixed results, so I put it aside to use as pillow filling, works great.

When "non quilters" think of a quilt they think of something fluffy...or fat. Its a fabulous quilt and I think it's perfect the way it is, and whoever receives it will love it too!

Yes, I think only the scrim in it is poly. It's mostly a cotton batting.

I appreciate everyone's advice. I guess I will keep the batting for charity quilts. I can see it being used for tied quilts only, tho I don't really like them. It won't go to waste. I really do hate it tho!

Thanks for your positive comments on my scrappy quilt top.

Many years ago when I didn't know what to buy, and ended up with fat batting, I would split it in half, and would usually pull apart quilt well.

I was actually looking for a mid to high loft batting a few weeks ago and could not find one. The Hobbs Polly one that was refered to is that the Polly Down(I think that is the name of it) what is the name of the one you are using in your very cute quilt.

I really don't know, rupe... I buy it from a wholesaler and it's a huge unmarked roll. It's about an inch thick. If you are near Mississippi, come get it! I'm make you a real good deal!

I like the quilt and I think the fluffiness will be very much appreciated by the recipient. And hey, you learned a lesson , right?--that you hate to work that particular batting. Too bad you bought a whole roll, but surely someone will want it. Sometimes cutting your losses and moving on is the best solution.

You couldn't be more right, Zozee!
