During my treatments, I used a quilt that was a large square. Large enough to cover me on the recliner and hang over the sides. The ones that I have made since have been 60x65 or there about depending on the pattern. I have used the slk/bamboo batting and minky on the back. The best think I can tell you is BIG, LIGHT and WARM. I think that is why I have started using the silk/bamboo batting - so light but, by itself, it can be cool or warm as needed. The minky just makes it really soft and warm. HTH
