If I lived in the Nawth, I would think some Johnnie Reb was pulling my leg, but since I live in the Sowoth, I think some Yankee is yanking your chain! Seriously, some people like fat quilts and others like them skinny. I've got some of both and the fat ones are warmer than the skinny ones but I remember the winter in West Texas when the temp never got above zero for eight days. We had several inches of snow on the ground and school was called off for a whole week. That kind of weather is unusual for W Texas--no snow plows and no chains on the tires--and we really appreciated every quilt we cold get on the beds, fat or skinny. froggyintexas

Any one else ever hear this? What do you think of the idea?
