She picks him up, goes into the bathroom and comes running out visibly distressed, yelling "I weigh 125 pounds". I said "you're still holding the cat". Turned out he was 16 of those pounds. She could be so blond sometimes. :-D
I now return you to your regularly scheduled topic...

Girls, girls, girls, the denser the quilt the heavier it is the less quilted the lighter it is. Compare a tied quilt to a quilted quilt and you would be surprised at the difference. I used to sell quilts in a consignment store and you would be surprised at the weight of densely quilted ones. Especially when it came to shipping them.
