For my family who live near the north Pacific, I quilt them with muslin and poly/cotton batting, then sew a flannel backing on them, then tie it on. I hate trying to machine quilt through flannel. They love them. They are experts in cold, and keeping warm.

I like warm and natural and use it alot. I also like Wool. it is warm in the winter and cool in the summer because it breathes. He may need the heat on, also. Or 2 quilts. I had to use 2 quilts at grandmothers house.

I've done this, and found there was a very faint smell of vinegar to the quilt, which disappeared after a couple of hours of "airing". And Wow! Was that quilt clean!

Perhaps there is a failure to communicate. :) I had a family member with the same complaint but it turned out that what was wanted was a weightier quilt--something that almost tucked itself around a person. The first quilt was warm but he had more of a comforter in mind--thick & snuggly.
