The fluffy middle layer of a quilt that provides thickness or loft and warmth. It is available in a variety of fibers, including cotton, polyester, polyester-cotton blend, wool and silk. Polyester is recommended for beginners, as it is easier to quilt, washes well, requires less quilting and gives a thicker, more dimensional appearance. Batting can be purchased by the yard or pre-package to standard bed sizes.
