oh boy.. I don't know why we can't be closer when it comes to the hot/cold thing. I'm hot, always have been, he's cold... freezing cold to hear him tell it.. So he has a pile of blankets on him. I sleep without a cover.. He doesn't see how I can stand it and I know I couldn't sleep under all those blankets.. I think it would be better to use separate blankets than to make one with different battings or amounts of batting. . I don't think you'd like it finished.
