I have never used black batting, but then I can't remember the last time I made a dark quilt. Still, I would use it if the quilt top warranted it. Interestingly, our recent (last weekend) quilt show resulted in me hearing from several quilters who were scribes for the four certified judges used to judge 500 quilts, that several judges commented on the importance of using black batting. Apparently they saw instances where black would have been more appropriate than white or cream. Those quilter-scribes learned a lesson simply by volunteering as they did.

I heard it also works well with light background because it should minimize the visiblility of seam allowances.

It had mostly dark fabrics and I just didn't want to take the chance of having little white batting sticking out. The fabrics that I used though were all Kona solids. The quilting came out great but since I didn't use white batting on it, I'm not sure if it would have been ok. I'm sure not going to remake it to find out! lol I would definitely use it again.<br />Thanks for the information and the linking party.Andree G.
