I had the same thing happen with my dsd quilt and I used Warm and Natural. She stopped complaining about it being cold and said it was too warm after we washed the quilt for the first time. I still recommend that everyone does this after quilting since all batting is compressed in the package or on a roll and then again when quilting the quilt. Toss it in the washer or in the dryer only with a damp washcloth and see if that helps.

One of my boys told me the same thing. I always layer quilts b/c one never seems warm enough for me. So I gave him another one :D

When I lived in Minnesota for a year I used an old wool comforter my mother resurrected from hiding and it was enough to keep me snuggly and warm all winter, but never overheated, even in summer. I moved to California the next year, and again used that comforter; it was still the most comfortable "blanket" I ever had. I want to try a wool batting when I get around to making a bed quilt for myself.

As for fleece, I find a blanket or throw made of polyester makes me sweaty, and cannot wear poly clothing at all. But son and DIL and granddogs all love their fleece blankies.

A flannel backing with any kind of batt always seems to feel warmer and more comfy to me. I flannel back almost all of the quilts that I will use myself.

There is a wool batting on the market that's lovely to work with.

Polyester battings are the least warm of any batting!

I love Warm and Natural. Quilts up nicely and it really is warm.

THIS is the only thing we used in Alaska. Poly does not breathe and can store bacteria! Wool is the best for warmth!

I remember reading that poly pillows were really bad for you.I didn't connect poly batt.His quilt is really old. Me thinks he should have a new one. :lol: thanks for the help.
