I am working on a quilt right now (65x75 ish) and I think it weighs about 50 pounds. lol we will see how it is after washing.
I wonder, if you could get your hands on a wool army blanket if you could use that as batting it would be heavy. However I don't know how hard it would be to quilt!

If I remember correctly, the old time heaviest quilts were not quilted, they were tied. The ones Grandma made seemed to be made with heavy, scratchy fabrics, blanket batting and a soft backing. Probably a flannel sheet.
But it sure was comforting to pull that heavy quilt over me, cuddle down in my flannel gown, snuggled deep into the big pillow and listen to the wind hurling rain at the window in the bedroom.
