I agree, I made football quilts for all the cheerleaders one year to wrap up in at half time and I did that. In school colors. The loved them. 60x84 is how big mine were.

Just a tidbit: Somewhere, somewhere either online or something my Grandma told me that loosely quilted or tied comforters are the warmest as they hold more air and air is an insulator.

Buy some long underwear and wear it.

I made a quilt out of old cordory ? pants and had a piece of blanket fabric and put that on the back and that is what we use for cold baseball games. You could also use old blue jeans.

Jean on one side and fleece on the back. The jean fabric to keep the wind out and the fleece to make you warm. Maybe also make a little pad to sit on.

Wool batting is very nice and warm . But do becareful as not all wash the same, some even have to be dry cleaned.
Ihave made quilts with double battings one layer cotton one of poly, loved the results. The poly gave extra loft to the quilting, and extra warmth.

This is what I was going to suggest ... a rag quilt, with either denim or flannel or both.

The fleece is very soft and warm. It also requires minimum quilting which helps keep it more flexible.

I agree about the tied ones being very warm. I just finished a scrappy (4.5 inch squares) quilt that I tied (first time tying a quilt) and it is so warm and snuggly - much more so than the other quilted ones I have made. I've already started another one for my DH as he keeps "stealing" mine for power naps!

I agree, and also flannel at least on the side you wrap in, flannel is always warmer.
