I agree, I made football quilts for all the cheerleaders one year to wrap up in at half time and I did that. In school colors. The loved them. 60x84 is how big mine were.
Just a tidbit: Somewhere, somewhere either online or something my Grandma told me that loosely quilted or tied comforters are the warmest as they hold more air and air is an insulator.
I agree about the tied ones being very warm. I just finished a scrappy (4.5 inch squares) quilt that I tied (first time tying a quilt) and it is so warm and snuggly - much more so than the other quilted ones I have made. I've already started another one for my DH as he keeps "stealing" mine for power naps!
