Very Heavy quilt ??
#71
I didn't read all the post, so sorry if it is repeated. I made a quilt out of minky and it was very heavy. Another was chenille and the last 2 types are denim and corduroy. These all have the weight behind them.

I have a very, very heavy quilt that is from Pottery Barn (though I paid $10 at a thrift store for use as dog bedding---but it's now mine!) The reason it's so heavy is that it's made of two layers of ticking-stripe heavy cotton, almost a canvas type fabric. Whatever you make for the top, maybe you could use this type of fabric for the backing????
