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.

I backed the top with a sheet, no batting because l wanted to use it year round.

I enjoyed reading this post, because I want to make a summer-weight quilt for our bed. I've chosen a Kansas Troubles layer cake and cream tone-on-tone yardage for the background. This all should go together quickly, as I will be using the D9P pattern and the blocks will be huge! I appreciate the input on the batting, because I want the quilt to be lightweight but to drape nicely as well. I'm thinking of going with lightweight poly or 80/20. Thank you for your suggestions!
