Batting Options

**I am currently using Warm & White batting by The Warm Company (makers of Warm & Natural).
This batting will be quoted for you if another is not chosen. **

You are welcome to send your own batting with your quilt or purchase it from me. At this time I am offering the Quilters Dream Batting line of cotton, poly and poly blend battings. I have used Quilters Dream Batting for years and have always been 100% happy with the quality of the product. The only other batting I use on my quilts is the Warm & Natural family of products and I find Quilters Dream Batting to be it's equal. I hope to offer Warm & Natural products in the future as well. Please remember that the quality of batting used does matter in your quilt. If you have any further questions on batting, please feel free to contact me directly, or ask your questions in the "Additional Comments" portion of the estimate form.
