Remember the Chisel Star Quilts? You may recall that each were quilted with different batting. I thought it might be fun to show a side by side comparison to see how they changed after washing. This first one was quilted with Pelion Legacy 80/20. The left side is before washing and the right side is after.
And this next one was quilted with Mountain Mist 80/20. Unwashed is on the left and washed is on the right.
I think I mentioned that the Pellon feels beefier to the touch. The Mountain Mist feels thinner. However, they both wash up beautifully. The Mountain Mist drapes a bit better.
I realize this is the science nerd in me coming out! But I do find it interesting.
Have a great day!

Both of these quilts are beautiful, and it is good to know that both of the battings held up the same. I am going to have to look at Mountain Mist again too. Like Kathy, I equate it with the yucky polyester batting I finally finished up recently.
I find information like this really helpful as I consider and choose batting (and other quilting options, too). From the photos it looks like there was no shrinkage at all. Is that right? Thanks.
Thanks for the product testing. (And now I’m interested in the “picjointer” photo editing function.)
I must be a science nerd too! Thanks for the info!
Have you ever used the Mountain Mist 80/20 for hand quilting?
Thanks for the comparison. When I hear Mountain Mist, I keep remembering the ‘quilt every inch’ they used to put on their packaging, which never worked for me.
Science rules!
From one science nerd to another – Thanks for the comparison! Mountain Mist is never on my radar because it brings to mind super thick polyester batting of old. Guess it deserves another look.
