Greetings and Dresser Scarf Query

Hello from an "oldie" returning once again to the fold! DD#1 needs a
dresser scarf and end table scarf to protect her new bedroom furniture
from scrapes and scratches. I found the perfect tone-on-tone floral
fabric for the top, a matching solid for the bottom, and a stunning
green for the binding that ties in nicely with the window treatments
that I made for her. My query? What kind of batting should I use,
because I don't want the end result to be "poofy." I plan to quilt
just enough to give additional movement to the fabric. Any and all
suggestions are appreciated.

Regards to all and TIA!
