I would suggest the cotton batt over the polyester. I like the softness of
the cotton, to me it's just more people and baby friendly.

Hi all

I really need your help here - I am out of my depth. Very good friend has
just become a grandmother and asked me to make a baby quilt for her new
grandson. Now, babies - let alone baby quilts - are not my favourite
things - so I am swimming in deep water vbg.

I have made what is probably a totally unsuitable top (hoffman panel with
bears and ducks and other stuff) and made it a bit larger with a final
border of scrapy four patches. The back is my interpretation of a baby
quilt 12 x 14 3" rail fence blocks in barn-raising layout in shades of
blue yellow and turqoise with a large turqoise border around the outside
to make is the same size (more or less) as the front.

Now to my question:

Is cotton or poly batt better - and why?

I have both and don't quite know what to do next. The quilt will be used
in England if temparatures make a difference.

Help ....
