Batting is the middle layer of your quilt ‘sandwich’. Sometimes called wadding, it’s kind of the invisible hero of a cuddly quilt, giving them warmth, thickness, stability, and weight. There’s no one right or wrong batting choice. All of the options we stock are high quality, and provide wonderful results. Here are some traits to consider in picking the perfect batting for your project. Still unsure? That’s okay!
