I don't know that I agree. There are many factors that go into how heavy a quilt is. What kind of batting/backing is used, how dense/loose the quilting is, and even what kind of pattern the top is. I made a quilt with 9196 pieces and you can bet that puppy is heavy. The amount of quilting is just one part of it. I don't like a lot of dense quilting in bed quilts because it renders them stiff.
