Here's a link to black batting that's on sale.

I think that you'd be fine with a darker batting.

I agree. I'd use black batting.

If it's not going to get a lot of wear and tear/often washing, I would leave it and use the black batting (yes, there is such a thing). As long as it's not handled roughly repeatedly it should be fine and with some care should last a long time. I personally wouldn't re-do it, I'd make sure this one got delicate handling and make another one for the heavy usage.

I just used Quilter's Dream Poly Select Black Batting on a queen size quilt. You will love it!

Have you set the top against a hunk of white or ivory batting to see how see through it will actually be? Of course you can see through it when you hold it up to the light like this, but it may be virtually invisible once sandwiched in a quilt. The black batting is a good idea too, but it might make the lighter parts of your quilt look gray or dirty. I'm curious to see what you decide to do! ;)

Jennifer-
I just used that Hobbs Heirloom for a quilt and it's a nice batt and a great price at Connecting Threads . I was ready to leave my own link for the original poster. Great minds....

Good idea.

I would leave it. In some of my projects I used thin materials and wondered how it would look/hold up. They are fine. Maybe a little more quilting to camouflage the black but other than that, I'd call it "almost done."

Same here... I would replace it now before you go to all the work of quilting.. With the thin fabric it will not hold up well...a lot of work now but will be much more later.... Your Quilt is very Beautiful!!

i agree, the black batting will make the other colors darker..including any white in the quilt.

i would leave it, and once it is quilted, it should be fine. I like muslin for the backs,unbleached/ bleached/or tea dyed muslin.
