Don't know much about value. I grew up in Northern Wisconsin with those kind of tied together 'quilts' WARM!!! We had a 2 story house with gravity heat so my sister and I used to roll up in the quilt and keep toasty warm. Years later, Mom had two batts combed together and decided they were too warm so she threw them out... I'm glad you still have yours. I've never had a quilt as warm since.
