Let me start by saying that when our house was built, the contractor said, "Insulation? Pffffft! This is Southern California - we don't need no stinkin' insulation!"
As a result, while my husband (who used to go camping in 4 feet of snow) runs around the house in shorts and a t-shirt telling me that it is "just fine in here", I have a rather large collection of throws that I keep over my legs every time that I alight in a chair...
I get a lot of grief over the number of throws that I have (eight by last count - and two of those belong to Stubble so they aren't really mine) so when I bought some quilts at church, I was informed that some of the throws would have to go....
Well, last weekend The Bearded One was sick. My rust colored fleece throw was too hot, the tan synthetic one was too cold - but what proved to be "just right" was the wild animal quilt in colors of pale yellow, tan, and brown, with squares that contain a collage of realistic looking wild animals in a mixture of browns, greens and black that looks just gorgeous in our bedroom...one of the ones that I got at church. It is cotton and so it "breathes" while being "just warm enough".
As a matter of fact, that quilt was so "just right" that it is now a part of the every night blanket ensemble that we use on our bed...
