Batting update

So I had a few questions on Soft & Bright and how it drapes.  I've never really gave it much thought.  I like it because it's stable with no stretch and has a nice loft, but it can seem a little stiff.  Not so cozy like the other Warm battings that I use.  So I decided to give it a wash test....

This is a sample for my Beginning Freehand class...
Before washing

After washing.....

Not a lot of difference....  There was some shrinking, but I'm not sure if this is batting or fabric.  The fabrics were prewashed before making this sample so if they were going to shrink it should of been then.  Still a little stiff, but softer than before.

In conclusion... I like the loft of Soft & Bright, but if I want my quilt to be soft and cuddly, I will stay with the Warm Bond or Blend.
