Has anyone made a quilt before? I'm probably being impossible but I want to find something heavy but not too hot. I get horribly hot at night but also like to feel squashed when I sleep. I'm trying to figure out what materials to use. This is my first attempt to make a quilt so I basically have no clue what I am doing.

My mom and her friends make tons a quilts with the cotton from Joanns. Her friend has made 15 quilts since the quarantine started. And that's with watching 1 of her grand babies a couple of days a week.

I have a few I'm deciding between for my room and a couple as gift ideas that I'm thinking about trying my hand at. Depending on how the one for my bed goes.

I do a lot with flannel from Joanns, mostly for baby quilts. Joanns cotton is fine to use. I tend to avoid the really expensive quilting fabrics just because of the cost issue.
