Just a thought - what if you had 2 coordinating quilts. One which you would make the bed properly with & the other would be folded, draped at the end of the bed?

Right now, it's a little too warm at night for the quilt, but I'm not ready to store it away for the summer, yet, so I fold it down, & then back on itself at the end of the bed. Looks nice & is there should it get chilly at night. Would work with that 2nd quilt.

This way, you could save some big $$$ by not having to buy wool batting. I am not convinced that the wool is any warmer than other battings, as the pockets between the stitching is what forms the insullating factor of a quilt. Traps warm air there to keep body heat in & cooler, ambient air temps out!
