If you have a crochet afghan that will cover most of the bed, put it between a couple of quilts. Once your body heat warms up the air pockets, you should keep warm most of the night.

That's what I do in the winter.

i would do the fleece backing. Make a shawl out of fleece when sitting and doing hand work. Keeps me very warm while not moving.

Sam's club sells the most wonderful FLEECE PJs, then maybe you could use ONE quilt, I would still use wool in it.

OOPSS forgot. L L Bean sells wonderful flannel sheets. I use them from end of October until end of April. They are much better quality than anything I can find in the stores.

Several people have mentioned fleece, I wonder if it could be used successfully as batting. Has anyone tried? Seems to me it would be light weight but very warm.

our 1st winter in Indpls we stayed in a 24ft camper and of course it was their worst winter in 20yrs I made us a quilt out of Duck Cloth -doubled the poly-and used flannel for the back and just tied it It was for a full size bed I took it to a laundro-mat used a dbl frt. loader and it dried in less time than it took to wash All we used with it was a flannel top sheet We were toasty warm

I have to put in my two cents for warm sleeping. I used to live in some really cold places in the Rocky Mountains, and this is what I worked out for warm sleeping in a cold room.
One: an electric mattress pad manually or set with a timer to warm the bed for an hour or two before bedtime, then off. Two: a wool blanket underneath top sheet.
Three: A goosedown comforter with a washable duvet over us. (It's like sleeping under a cloud :)
Four: a hot blooded sleeping partner. This bed is also easy to make in the morning, because you just shake the comforter and it falls to the bed. Easy peasy..

So for your quilt, you might consider making it the top of a duvet cover, and the bottom could be a simple sheet.

Oh. So you're ruling out vampires? ;-)

I have a Velux blanket and a feather comforter. That keeps me warmer than anything.
