Prism & Bree123 I think you have answered my questions. I do quilt on a DSM. It makes perfect sense that more quilting would make it less puffy. I'll take a look at the Hobbs Polydown. I think she probably does prefer something lighter like a comforter. My friend says her decor is "antique-y" and I know she would not ask for anything specific, so this is just me starting to plan things in my head. I guess for me "simpler" and "antique" go together anyway; stippling seems more modern to me. Nothing wrong with a grid pattern or S.I.D. :-) Thank you!
