New here and enjoying reading through everything. You were one smart bride. I envision your "book" becoming some sort of new rage. How easy one would be to make now that we have polar fleece? Even just two layers and then the couple can divide out the pages. Thanks for sharing.

Then I treated them as if they were a big book, and folded more of the 'pages' towards my side.
Could you make two thin quilts, button them together down the centre (right sides facing), so that one could fold back onto the other side?

There's always the "no man's land" in the middle with one of those quilts, I think. You would have to make it a bit bigger on each side in order to make it work.Poly in one side and cotton or wool in the other?

Of course I don't know how one of these would hold up to stitching and laundering, just an idea.

Well I would guess for sure it is one side you put heavier and warmer batting and the other side you would put a lighter baqtting. But you want to find out which side the cold person sleeps on, or you will have to change the name of the quilt.
