Here is a link to pictures of the quilt I did this way. It is heavily quilted though so the in process pics show a better "poof" factor.

Also Green Fairy does a lot of quilts with two layers of batting:

Put your cotton on first then layer your poly on top.

WOW! I remember that quilt! Lovely work. Mine won't be a work of art, just one she can take to college with her!

A customer/friend of mine wanted this baby blanket to be puffy so I put two layers of batting in it. It is more difficult to quilt, but it came out OK.

Many years ago before I knew anything about quilting.... I made my son's quilts with two layers of high loft batting. I also hand quilted it. He still has them. It's more like a comforter than a quilt.

I'm glad you asked, since I was wondering the same thing. I bought some "high loft" but it didn't seem very thick to me, so I thought of combining with Warm and Natural.

I always try anything I think may work. If it sounds like good common sense go for it. I tried putting extra poly fabric in back of some fish in a quilt and used warm and natural for the entire quilt. It doesn't look as puffy as I wanted but it looks pretty good.
