Default batting suggestions?

Old well-washed flannel. Soft doesn't have to be thick. And thick,
after you quilt it, tends to get a bit stiff. And if you really want
cuddly, maybe use just a layer of really good fleece on the back with
no batting.

What is your recommendation for the softest batting ever for a small
cuddly baby quilt?

We make lots of Project Linus blankets using fleece for the backing.
They are so soft and cuddly and the kids love them. It's actually
less expensive to use fleece than to buy batting and backing. I have
a good online source for fleece & they deliver it right to my front
door!
