quilt batting

Quilt batting is the middle layer in a quilt sandwich, placed between the top fabric and the backing. It provides warmth, insulation, and a bit of cushioning. Batting can be made from various materials, including cotton, polyester, wool, or blends, each offering different qualities like weight and breathability. The thickness and type of batting can affect the quilt's final appearance and feel. Choosing the right batting is essential for the quilt's intended use, whether for warmth, decoration, or both. It's an important component that influences the quilt's overall texture and durability.
