I made a double layer batted quilt for DH about 25 years ago. It is still his favorite quilt of all times even though it has worn out a great deal. He still reminds me that it is his all time favorite. It was to heavy for me and I couldn't sleep under it at all. Now we use 2 quilts on the bed each with a single layer of batting. This way he has the heavy feeling he likes and I can sleep under a single quilt or toss it over and sleep under a sheet. Snowy weather conditions and power outages are common here. Having all the extra quilts have been very handy when the power has gone out and it is only 15-20 degrees f outdoors.
