I just put a quilt together and I thought I might offer some heads up to all my fellow DIYers. Check out Quilter's Dream Batting . I used their Dream Puff Batting for my quilt, I wanted to use the Dream Wool, but I did not have any laying around. I use it all the time in my "civilian quilts" and it is some good stuff and probably a little more readily available than some of the other insulation options. It is warm, and it will maintain its loft and it will stuff with out to much of an issue, and Dream Puff is priced quite reasonable.
Secondly get a hold of your local "Long Arm Quilter". I do this for a living so I just threw my stuff on the machine and 45 minutes later I had a quilt. Long arm quilting does the top stitching for layering quilts together. It can be expensive, but the "large meander" pattern used on outdoor quilts is a quick and easy so if you say please and thank you they might give you a good deal. Not to mention that at the very least they should be able to get you some Dream Puff or Dream Wool.
