Batting

Warm & Natural 100% cotton:  $11 per yard (90" wide):  Warm & Natural is an unbleached, dense, flat 100% cotton batting with little loft.  It shrinks about 5% when washed for that soft, antique, slightly puckered look. 
If you want a different batting, such as Hobbs 80/20 (80% cotton, 20% polyester) or something else, we can get that for you.  You may provide the batting, too.  Just make sure it's good quality to honor all the work that you put into this quilt.  Make sure it's at least 8 inches longer and wider than the quilt top. 

Shipping

Any shipping and insurance charges will be added to your final invoice.  As of September 7, 2014, priority mail shipping within the U.S. with $500.00 insurance is $29.00.  Standard post with insurance is $23.00.
