Hobbs Heirloom® Premium 80/20 Bleached Cotton Blend Queen Quilt Batting – 90" x 108"
Keep white, pastel, and very light-colored quilts looking clean and bright with Hobbs Heirloom® Premium 80/20 Bleached Cotton Blend Batting. This Queen-size 90" x 108" pre-cut batting combines 80% bleached cotton fibers with 20% polyester, providing the trusted performance of Hobbs Heirloom® 80/20 in a lighter-colored batting designed especially for light quilt fabrics.
Unlike natural or unbleached batting, the bleached cotton fibers help minimize color show-through beneath white and very light fabrics. This makes it an excellent choice for white-on-white quilts, pastel quilts, light backgrounds, and other projects where maintaining the brightness of the quilt top is important.
Hobbs Heirloom® Premium 80/20 Bleached is lightly needle punched and resin bonded for strength, durability, and stability. With an approximate 1/8" loft, it provides comfortable dimension without adding excessive bulk or weight to the finished quilt.
Designed for both hand and machine quilting, this versatile cotton-polyester batting allows a maximum distance of approximately 4 inches between quilting stitches. Expected shrinkage is 3–5%, which can contribute to the soft, gently puckered appearance associated with traditional quilted projects after laundering.
At 90" x 108", this convenient Queen-size package provides ready-to-use batting for appropriately sized quilts without the need to cut from a bulk roll.
