As Miss Tutty mentioned, that is going to be a REALLY warm quilt!
I grew an appreciation for wool last winter when hubby was especially cold in our Sleep Number bed? I had purchased an Army blanket from a military surplus store for, I think, $20. I put it down on the mattress under the sheet, and MAN! I hadn't realized that I was really cold at night, too!
It made a world of difference ... a very delicious warm <wave>
