On my last quilt I used Quilters Dream Puff which was such a pleasure to quilt, and the quilt seems so soft and warm. They claim it is warmer than down. That's what I would recommend instead of a double layer.
Carol have you tried washing it?
I am looking for a soft drape warm batting with good loft for a bed quilt. It will have to get warm-water washed and machine dried.
Thanks
