I think I've decided to just make one for my grandson - instead of the kingsize bedspread - due to the weight more than anything. We live in Oklahoma, and it's usually not that cold to need anything that heavy. Plus, I would really like to have a lightweight bedspread that could be used most of the year. We have a down comforter we put on when its really cold, but most of the year we don't need anything too heavy.
Maybe I could look into a more lightweight quilt. I really like the jelly-rolls I've seen. I've watched the 1600' video - and that is really neat. I guess you could attach 4 of those together and make a bedspread (or comforter) for a kingsize bed!
All sorts of ambition - just have to have the TIME to do some of these ideas! If anyone has hints on lightweight comforters (I kind of like the idea of quilt as you go) - then pass them along.)
