Marvelous quilting!
In the curved cross hatch design, can you tell me what batting was used in the quilt?

Do you have a favorite batting that shows off your quilting designs?

Thanks for posting your works of art and heart!

My favorite battings are Quilters Dream Deluxe Polyester batting, Hobbs 80/20, and Hobbs Tuscany wool!

Wool by far is the best choice in my opinion for quilting - but it is very pricy so most of the time I use the second best option, which is Hobbs 80/20. Quilters Dream Deluxe Poly gives great quilting definition with less tendency to beard.
