I'm curious because there is much conversation on the Board about which battings are light and which are heavy, and which are warm but light, etc., and I am wondering if it really makes that much difference in the overall weight of the quilt. I've gotten an estimate (see above post - thank you!!!) on average weight per yard of quilt fabric, and I think I will do some calculations on batting weight. We'll see when I finish this quilt what the top weighs. I have a postal package scale at work which might be accurate enough to rig something up...
I guess 'inquiring minds want to know' LOL !
