The package is the right choice for home quilters who quilt occasionally and don't need bulk batting inventory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What sizes are available in the Hobbs Heirloom 80\/20 Package?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Packages are available in Crib, Twin, Full, Queen, and King — each pre-cut to the standard dimensions for that quilt format.
