Is there a type of batting that is super warm, or would you suggest using a double layer of batting (I've never done that before). Or use fleece as the back?
Thank you for your help!

I made my son a pineapple denim quilt for Christmas one year - it is extremely warm - no batting and just used some blue chambry like fabric for the backing that a friend gave me - she had purchased it to make some chambry shirts with, but never did use any of it.
Why not make a denim square quilt and purchase two flannel flat sheets, use one for the batting for extra warmth and the other one for the backing. That would really warm. Just don't use any denim with stretch to it, these pieces dont work well with regular denim, ask me how I know. Why not get a snuggif you don't have one and use it for your back, or maybe on for the front and the back, plus the quilt you decide on.
You could make your self a hooded fleece poncho to cover your upper body and use a quilt also to wrap around legs. Get a good warm cushon because those bleachers are cold!. Gerbie
