I have posted this before and am doing it now to show how the bamboo batting worked with the machine quilting. After I washed it the batting shrunk a very tiny bit, just enough to puff out a little in the areas with no quilting, making the stitches show even more. It is very soft and drapes well. Noah's Mommy reports that he likes his quilt.

I enjoy looking at you quilts so much.
And Pam your baby quilt is adorable. Well worth the second look.

It sounds like the bamboo batting has improved from what it was like when it first came out a couple years ago. I'll have to keep my eye out for it and try it out.
As for cost, I would think that once it has found a nitch in the market it should be cheaper then cotton or wool or polyester batting. The entire point of it is that it is a green product. Bamboo only takes 8 weeks or so to regrow and as such it should end up costing much less then other bats because it is easily renewable. Doesn't that make sense?
