Hobbs Heirloom® 80/20 Cotton & Polyester Crib Quilt Batting – 45" x 60"
Create soft, comfortable baby quilts and smaller quilted projects with Hobbs Heirloom® Premium 80/20 Quilt Batting. This convenient Crib-size 45" x 60" pre-cut batting combines 80% premium unbleached cotton with 20% polyester, providing the traditional character of cotton with the added resilience and loft of polyester.
Hobbs Heirloom® 80/20 is lightly needle punched and lightly resin bonded, creating a stable batting with approximately 1/8" loft. This construction provides more dimension than some traditional cotton battings while keeping the finished quilt comfortably lightweight.
The versatile cotton-polyester blend is suitable for both hand and machine quilting, making it an excellent choice for crib quilts, baby quilts, lap quilts, wall hangings, and other small quilting projects.
Quilting lines can be spaced up to 4 inches apart, giving you flexibility when choosing your quilting design. The batting is washable and has an expected 3–5% shrinkage, which can contribute to the soft, gently puckered texture associated with traditional quilts after laundering.
At 45" x 60", this pre-cut Crib-size batting provides a convenient option for smaller projects without the need to measure and cut batting from a bulk roll.
