Product Information

The one thing I think works in your favor is that your down comforter has already been quilted a bit – which means the feathers won’t all bunch at the bottom. I’m assuming your comforter is puffed into squares possibly ranging between 12-8″? So that’s a plus. However, the biggest negative in creating a quilt from a down comforter is that down comforters typically last 10-15 years and then the feathers have either migrated out or have been completely crushed into oblivion. For standard crib-size quilts, using lightweight batting will be ideal. On average, quilt batting for a crib should measure approximately 28″x52″. They also have decent protection, but the wide side bolsters aren’t for everyone, and some people will find these to be less flexible than they would like. If I were making a quilt for an adult and wanted it to be especially warm, I might use Polar fleece, particularly if the individual lived in a very cold climate. Otherwise I’d use, cotton, silk, wool, or even cotton flannel. As others have mentioned, each has different properties and is appropriate for different situations. The most usual type of quilt batting is cotton or polyester. But the natural environment also has its way of providing material for this in the form of wool, silk, bamboo, and even poly-cotton blend. These mentioned natural materials are all recyclable and are not harmful ones.

In addition to the type of batting material, you also need to be aware of batting loft for your quilting projects.

Some batting is quite soft, while other types are stiffer. This affects how the batting hangs—and ultimately how the quilt that uses it drapes. Here is a fun fact about wool, a sheep was found in Australia and roamed around after being sheared. It was turned to be 89-pounds lighter. Take note that ONE pound of wool can yield 10 miles of yarn, which is equivalent to 890 miles of yarn. Since wools are lifted from sheep, it is renewable in form and cannot be harmful to nature.Wool batting can provide one a warm and breathable type of batting, especially in the winter season. It is a perfect material that can quench our craving for warmth during the cold season. If you are making a quilt for a specific purpose, such as making a baby blanket or a play quilt, there are other types of batting available that may be more suitable. For example, there is bamboo batting which is perfect for warmer weather projects or cotton batting that is more breathable.
