It depends on what batting you use regarding drape and weight. I made my niece a full size quilt and used Quilter's Dream Orient (which is a blend with silk, bamboo, tercel? I think) and 2nd layer wool. It was the first quilt I ever showed in a Quilt Show and I splurged on the batting. It is very warm but light and drapes nicely. The quilt folded and fit into a bag with a handle to carry on the plane and she was amazed at how light it was.
