There is a distinct difference between quilts and comforters. Quilts are quilted and comforters are tied, which is one reason why they are thicker. So make her quilt top, use the ligh loft batting and then just tie it. If it states that the quilting should be 4 to 6 inches apart, then place your ties accordingly. It will be much faster and easier, DD will be happy and so wii you!
