just my thoughts.
I am thinking that the raggy quilts you are talking about the seams are not exposed? I like the fluffy feel as well, it just says warm to me. Have to think on this one, Christmas is a few days off and then New Years, so will not have any chance to do anything. My aim is to use up some flannel that should be used. Thanks
