Product Description
Matilda's Own 100% Cotton Quilt Wadding
When your quilt calls for crisp whites and clean, bright backgrounds, our Matilda’s Own 100% White Cotton Quilt Wadding Remnants offer a practical way to work with beautifully bright cotton without committing to a larger cut.
These remnants are created in-house from roll ends and careful trimming during cutting, so sizes will vary — but every piece is made from the same premium Australian-grown, seed-free bleached cotton as our full-length cuts. Designed especially for quilts with white or pale fabrics, this bright white wadding helps maintain clarity and freshness, without the creamy undertones often found in natural cotton.
Perfect for wholecloth quilts, baby projects, cushions, or testing how bright white cotton performs with your quilting style, remnants give you flexibility while supporting a more sustainable approach to making. The fine stabilising scrim helps prevent bearding and allows for a generous quilting distance of up to 10", making it suitable for both hand and machine quilting.
With a traditional low loft of approximately ⅛+ inch (0.3+ cm) this wadding provides a smooth, stable finish with excellent stitch definition. Naturally breathable and soft to needle, it creates a clean, polished look ideal for both modern and classic quilt designs.
Each remnant is hand-folded and packaged plastic-free in our Brighton shop — because thoughtful quilting starts with thoughtful materials.
- Note: Availability and sizes will vary.
- Beautiful for hand quilting or machine quilting (domestic and longarm)
