What is the best batting to use in a baby quilt?
In my opinion, always use 100% cotton. Very few people are allergic to cotton. Wool batting, or polyester can cause rashes. Polyester batting will 'crumble' to granules and dust after a few years of repeated washing and abuse. Stick with cotton, especially for baby. Something else to consider . . . If you are going to hand quilt the baby quilt, use a 'needled cotton batt.' It is easier to quilt. Also, it is a good idea to buy a cotton batting that does not contain little pieces of the 'hull' and seed ( some batts will have bits all through it. ) Those hulls and seeds will eventually bleed small amounts of cotton oil, leaving a stain on the quilt that will NOT wash out.

Why new quilt warmer than old quilt?
A quilt feels warm because the air trapped in the cotton or woolen batting acts as an insulator and does not allow the heat of the body to escape. However, when the quilt gets old - the cotton/wool gets compressed and the airspace are done away with. It does not remain as good an insulator to heat as it was earlier. Hence it feels less warm.
How many layers does a quilt have?
A quilt typically has three layers: # A decorative top made of smaller pieces of fabric sewn together # A center of cotton or wool batting, or sometimes of feathers # A back, usually of cotton sheeting or muslin, although sometimes a reversible quilt uses another top for the backing.
Is polyester a good quilt backing for a cotton quilt top?
I generally try not to use both cotton and polyester in the same quilt. The main reason is that the different fibers tend to react differently to washing/drying and wear. Over time you can end up with a quilt that is distorted in shape and size. That being said, using a polyester or blend in for the back and cottons for the top is not as troublesome as mixing the fabrics within a pieced top. You will experience fewer problems with distortion if the poly is only on the back. If the quilt is ornamental and won't be washed much you may be okay using the poly backing. If the quilt will be used a great deal then stick with all cotton.
Should you wash the fabric before making a quilt?
Yes, unless it is clean and not cotton.

What is a quilt?
I am assuming a notion to quilt. If you heard someone say they have a notion to quilt that could mean that they are wanting to make quilts, or want to start quilting etc. A quilting notion is something used in the creation of making a quilt. Threads, rulers, templates, making pens, etc are considered a quilting notion.
