70/30 — The Cotton-Dominant Blend
The Quilters Dream Select Natural 70/30 rolls offer a subtle but meaningful difference from the standard 80/20: a slightly higher cotton percentage (70%) that produces a more cotton-dominant hand and feel, while the 30% polyester provides resilience and reduced shrinkage. For studios and clients who want more cotton character than 80/20 delivers but don't want to commit to all-cotton maintenance, 70/30 is an excellent intermediate option — with the pure cotton Select cotton rolls covering the all-natural end.
Available for pre-order in throw (60"), queen (93"), and king (120") widths x 25-30 yards. Lead time approximately 8 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Wait — isn't 70/30 less cotton than 80/20?
The Quilters Dream 70/30 is blended for a more cotton-forward hand despite the ratio — the fibre selection and construction make it feel closer to pure cotton in drape and wash behaviour, positioned between standard 80/20 and all-cotton in practice.
When is 70/30 the right recommendation?
For clients who love the pure-cotton feel and crinkle but want more wash predictability and resilience than all-cotton offers — the practical middle ground.
Does the extra poly change quilting distance?
No — 4" maximum spacing, same as the 80/20. The blend quilts identically on the frame; only the finished hand differs.
