Product Description
Matilda's Own 80% Cotton, 20% Polyester Quilt Wadding Remnants
Looking for a more affordable way to work with a dependable cotton blend wadding? Our Matilda’s Own 80/20 Cotton Poly Quilt Wadding Remnants are a practical choice for everyday quilting projects, sampling new techniques, and reducing fabric waste without compromising on quality.
These remnants are created in-house from roll ends and careful trimming during cutting, so sizes will vary — but each piece is made from the same trusted 80% cotton and 20% polyester blend as our full-length cuts. The cotton offers breathability and a soft, natural hand, while the polyester adds durability and helps quilts maintain their shape through regular use and washing.
Ideal for baby quilts, lap quilts, cushions, pet beds, practice blocks, or smaller craft projects, remnants give you flexibility when planning your makes. 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 styles.
With a low loft of approximately ⅛+ inch (0.3+ cm) and minimal shrinkage of around 2.5%, this wadding produces a smooth, reliable finish with lovely stitch definition. It’s prewashed, preshrunk, and machine washable once inside a finished quilt, making it a trusted option for projects designed to be used and loved.
Each remnant is hand-folded and packaged plastic-free in our Brighton shop — because thoughtful quilting starts with thoughtful choices.
- Note: Availability and sizes will vary.
