I have this really nice and very fluffy wool batting that I purchased at a Sheep and Wool festival. Only problem is I am extremely nervous about bearding. I really want a very warm blanket for the very cold days.

Does anyone have any experience using this type of batting? I am almost wondering if I should sandwich it between two thin layers of cotton or linen?

Working on my backlog of 10-ish quilt tops that need to be quilted.

Long-arm is rental via Spring Water Designs in Columbia,MD. Not affiliated, they are a nice shop that really is helpful even to new quilters.

Took me 4 hours to load and quilt 10 squares of 30! Indecision was mine. I should have had a quilt plan before I arrived and should not have fussed trying to get the center seam in back dead center with top.
