The Legacy Quilting line of quilt batting first starting shipping in June, 2009. This line of batting is the most diverse in the industry. Pellon® has taken the best items from all the other manufacturers in the United States and put them into one line that is available to distributors in the US and abroad to sell at wholesale and retail prices. Go to http://www.quiltlegacy.com/ to view the complete line. Below is the comparison to help you compare:
