I made an oversized quilt for my king bed. I wanted a pillow tuck and coming down the sides of the bed. It is completely done but dang, I can hardly lift it. It's so heavy. I used cotton batting. Is there other batting I should have used so it's not so heavy. Washing and drying was a bear too. I don't sleep under the quilt because of the weight, just blankets.

Thanks for your help
