A mystery - theoretically, it should only weigh as much more as the weight of the thread used -

I think when it's quilted less air is in the batting so the quilt feels weightier and not so airy.

She picks him up, goes into the bathroom and comes running out visibly distressed, yelling "I weigh 125 pounds". I said "you're still holding the cat". Turned out he was 16 of those pounds. She could be so blond sometimes. :-D I now return you to your regularly scheduled topic... |

Girls, girls, girls, the denser the quilt the heavier it is the less quilted the lighter it is. Compare a tied quilt to a quilted quilt and you would be surprised at the difference. I used to sell quilts in a consignment store and you would be surprised at the weight of densely quilted ones. Especially when it came to shipping them.
