Sounds like what my husband has described to me of how is grandmother used to make quilts.Although living in the north they wanted them to be thicker. She passed many years ago so I am not sure exactly what he wants either. To me it sounded like he was talking about a comforter but he said that it was a thick quilt.
Were they heavy feeling or light?
I have seen some that had to have had two or more layers of high loft batting, and some with one layer of high loft and a wool blanket added in to for extra warmth and weight :D:D:D
