My instinct would be to get cotton. That's just me though, and my zero knowledge on batting and allergies. Oh, I must get me one of those! My instinct would be to get cotton.

Cotton is all I ever use for batting on quilts, period! I've made several baby quilts. cotton all the way, a quilt is only useful if you can wash it so that would take care of any concern about it holding stuff.

The whole lawyer thing, as we know, isn't a slam dunk. I'm not going to be able to read your blog if you're going to continue to tempt into quilting. I have landscaping to do - I have no time for sewing! Sheesh. It’s good to have a back up plan. The whole lawyer thing, as we know, isn’t a slam dunk.
