Make a Baby Quilt - Part 2 - Borders (bias or straight cut)
How to make a baby Quilt?
Well, I've never really had any interest in quilting before but now that I'm a mummy I thought it would be quite cool to make a little quilt for my son.
So I thought I'd just make 2 little patchwork blankets of cotton squares, and stitch them together with some padding in the middle - just as a first attempt. I'd love to get into the 'fancy' stuff and techniques at some point in the future, but for now I just want to try something simple like that.
Do you think this stuff would be ok to put in the middle?

I don't want to spend too much money at this point if possible because it's just a fun experiment for me to see how I find it and also I want it to be a 'light' quilt as the weather is getting warmer now.
I'd be really grateful for any opinions or advice on this?
Thank you! 
I think 4-oz wadding/batting is a good weight for a baby quilt, but as I read the description, this one isn't specifically for quilting. Wadding for quilting is treated to prevent (or at least reduce) a problem called 'bearding' where the polyester fibers migrate (work their way through) the outside fabric - it's unsightly and eventually you lose all your wadding. I strongly suggest you stick to QUILT wadding. When I first started quilting almost 15 years ago, I didn't (I did all the typical 'beginner false economies'), and the baby quilts I made then have lost all their filling and are very sad. Here in the U.S., I can buy a packaged decent-quality quilt wadding in 36"x45" size for about $10 (sorry, I'm leaving you stuck with the conversion math!), and I think it's worth the money.
If you decide you can't do quilt wadding for some reason, then look for wadding that is either needle-punched, bonded, or has a scrim - these will be more durable. Congratulations and good luck.
