Product Description
Matilda's Own 100% White Cotton Quilt Wadding - Baby Size (48" x 60")
A Natural Choice for Comfort with Crisp White Background Fabrics
Matilda’s Own 100% White Cotton Quilt Wadding is the perfect choice when your quilt calls for a crisp, bright white background. Made from premium Australian cotton, this soft and breathable wadding is completely seed-free and features a brilliant bleached finish—ideal for white or pastel-based quilt tops where clarity and colour purity matter most.
This pre-cut baby size measures 48" x 60" (122cm x 152cm), making it a convenient option for cot quilts, lap quilts, and small throws. It is needle-punched with a fine scrim to prevent bearding and help maintain structure throughout the quilting process. The wadding is soft and easy to handle, whether you’re quilting by hand or machine.
Prewashed and preshrunk, it has minimal shrinkage (approx. 2.5%) and is fully machine washable. The low loft (approximately ⅛+ inch or 0.3cm) gives your quilt a smooth, traditional look while still offering excellent stitch definition.
This wadding is free from resins, sprays, glues, or bonding agents—making it hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin. Packaged plastic-free, it’s an environmentally mindful choice for makers who care about what goes into their craft.
Whether you're creating a baby quilt, a decorative wall hanging, or a small project with a clean white aesthetic, this bleached cotton wadding provides the perfect foundation.
