my friend made a denim rag quilt using warm and natural for the batting and took leftover squares and made me a quilt wth denim on one side, warm and natural batting, and a neat cowboy print regular cotton on the back. that sucker is heavy and it barely covers my full size bed. I seldom use it because it's so heavy. I pull it out in the coldest part of winter (maybe in the 20s tops) here in Houston but it's so heavy. fleece isn't too heavy but is hot. my dad was happy with cotton top quilted onto fleece - says it was warm and wasn't too heavy. my mom asked for a string quilt for them to use on their king size bed- I did just regular cottons onto muslin and used a poly batting so it wouldnt' be heavy and my dad woke up in a panic because he couldn't get it off him
