Each pound of Dream Green Batting keeps 10 plastic bottles out of our landfills. Dream Green has been carded, cross lapped and needle-punched for uniformity, strength, and resiliency. There is no scrim or resins yet you can stitch up to 12” apart! Utilizing eco-efficient recycling Quilters Dream has developed a wonderful quilt batting that truly accomplishes the meaning of “green.”

GREEN FACTS: Studies show that the energy saved by recycling a single plastic bottle – as compared to producing a new one from scratch – is enough to power a single 60-watt bulb for six hours. The amount of petroleum saved annually by using post-consumer bottles instead of virgin materials in the manufacturing process is enough to supply power to a city the size of Atlanta for an entire year! It is reported the process of recycling plastic bottles results in a 66% reduction of energy consumption, nearly 90% reduction of water usage and reduction of carbon dioxide by 2.5 times.

Quilters Dream Pink is an 80/20 Dream Batting made with pink poly micro fibers to support breast cancer. Quilters Dream Batting donates 10% of the wholesale sale of Dream Pink to late stage metastatic breast cancer research. Our pink poly micro fibers are extruded pink so the color will not run or bleed, and the pink fibers lend a fabulous blush pink coloring to batting.

Dream Pink is made with 80% high grade long staple USA cotton fiber blended with 20% fine denier pink poly microfiber for a soft, silky batting that drapes beautifully and breathes well. The long staple cotton fiber reduces shrinkage and adds stability so that the stitches can be up to 8” apart. The poly microfibers add a loft and resistance to creases/wrinkles. There are no scrims, glues, or other binders to resist the needle, so this fine batting can be hand or machine quilted with ease.

While we no longer use Hobbs Heirloom, we do occasionally use Hobbs Tuscany in either the Cotton/Wool or 100% Wool fiber contents.

Both provide quilters with a batting that has few if any wrinkles or creases, and a wonderful loft.
