While wandering around JoAnn’s yesterday, I noticed a new product: Bamboo quilt batting. Actually it is 50% bamboo and 50% organic cotton. It was more expensive than some–$13.99 for a 60″ by 60″ crib quilt/art quilt size.
I found some more info on the Fairfield website (http://www.poly-fil.com/batting.asp). The quilting distance is listed at 8″ and the shrinkage is 2-3%. There are instructions about pre-shrinking the batting. The major drawback is that the pre-shrinking does not include the washing machine or the dryer.
I expect we will find some information about this at the Chicago Quilt Festival. In the meantime, the few reviews I found through Google were positive.
