JeannieB Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 This quilt will have a dark batik for the backing (the left side of the pic), off white muslin snowballs on the front with batik snowball corners (all the light and dark colors in the pic). Should I use black or off white for the batting? Thanks for your suggestions . 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T Row Studio Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Try putting a piece of dark batting and a piece of light batting behind the light fabric and stand back and look at it.... the dark will make it greyish I would guess and the light will make it brighter. then decide which you like better....Absolutly no help I am sure.... good luck.

delld Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 I would use the off white batting maybe even wool and wash the back batik for sure!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zora Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Yes, the black batting is going to muddy up the light color on the front. I only ever use black batting on an all dark quilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheagatzi Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 I would use white batting - the black will grey up the white fabric as others have said! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
