It is nice and snuggly. In fact I find it even more snuggly than the same type of quilt I have put warm and white in. It was a little more puffy while quilting because the batting is softer. <br /><br />I have never used a black batting because I am always more concerned with my whites being bright. I'm curious how the black batting would affect your white squares. <br /><br />As this is going to be a cuddle quilt and not a wall hanging, I would square up the edges and add borders.

It's a baby quilt and I haven't seen quality batting migrate through if it's got just a bit of poly in it. Not saying it doesn't happen but I sure have not seen it. This is the coolest quilt!Jenny K.

Black flannel is what I would consider, too! :)Denise :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07306906507013593208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-65409701946042748882015-01-17T19:09:27.874-05:002015-01-17T19:09:27.874-05:00I used the Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 black batting on o...I used the Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 black batting on one of my quilts and it worked great the only problem I has was I like shrinkage and it didn't shrink so I have a flat quilt - but no migration of fibers to the top or if there is I can't see them because they are black!Karen - Quilts...etc.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07293429657903986492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-87818338855955191672015-01-17T19:02:17.305-05:002015-01-17T19:02:17.305-05:00Kinky and satin binding does sound like a winning ...Kinky and satin binding does sound like a winning combo!
