I was very UNHAPPY when I hand quilted the cotton needlepunched batting from Quilters' Dream. Once I washed the quilting designs completely disappeared in the wrinkles. I guess I'm just enough of a
70's gal to *want* a bit of that puffy look that poly gives. I think it's warmer, too, because it traps more air.susan kraterfield see my quilts: members.cox.net/kratersge

Thanks Susan. You don't find a lot of shrinkage with the wool blend?
