MIL wanted a quilted bedspread that reached the floor so her sister made one for her. After using it a very short time she and FIL decided it was way too heavy, so had it cut down. My quilted bedspread reaches the bottom of the box springs, so I don't use a dust ruffle. It is heavy enough to stay in place but not too heavy to move when needed. I used W&N batting. It's been on my bed for a year and both DH and I are happy with it. Washed for the first time yesterday, and I was able to wash it in my home washer and air dry in the dryer. Came out quite nice.
