Is this a heavy quilt for winter ?

Hello Schoenike, I wouldn't keep this solely as a winter quilt. While it keeps me warm, it is not thick and fluffy or stuffed with anything. That being said, it is a lot heavier than I thought it would be, and it does keep me warm. Hope this helps!

This is a thinner quilt, lighter weight than a comforter, but still heavy enough to keep us warm on colder nights. Living in Texas, we chose it just for that reason. It's a beautiful quilt.

Yes, but I still like the weight. I didn't want a heavy quilt that has to be thrown or taken off every night.

This is a very soft, light weight quilt. I have a summer weight blanket on my bed and therefore don't use the quilt when sleeping.

It is a pieced quilt and quite lovely. I needed a quilt for a single bed that was not for a child and this one fit the bill.

I have lighter quilts, but I would still consider it Summer weight. I love the way it looks.

The quilt has a good bit of weight to it. In my case, I think part of that reason is because it hangs longer off the sides. This quilt is beautiful, I've received so many compliments. It's perfect for winter and I still have it on my bed going into summer, albeit I do have to kick it off if me and just use the sheet.

I really love this quilt! It is not stiff like some bedspreads made out of that material that almost seems water resistant. It's pretty soft and comfortable but not so soft or thin it seems flimsy. I wouldn't say it's super soft but just right really!!! Hope this helps. I actually want to order the throw now too!

It is not too soft, but comfortably soft. Very nice quilt. The color on back is predominately gold with flowers. Should go well with your colors.

Yes, it would be fine as-is. For winter and fall we have a duvet insert. And those inserts can be as heavy or light as you want. There are a lot to choose from. I love this bedding set - it's gorgeous and cozy...especially when the insert is in it. I've had my set since Jan 2012 and washed it plenty of times with no issues.

This is not a summer comforter. I would agree with Kathleen Diehl & Patricia Fairchild, it's a spring, fall, winter (depending where you live) medium weight comforter. Thought for you, have you thought of just buying a light weight blanket and a pretty sheet to put on top for something lightweight? You might also try doing a Amazon search for "quilted bedspread" or for "bedspread coverlet". Coverlet being the key word. Or do a search for "Matelasse coverlet". Also if you do a search for "quilts", you will find most of them are lightweight. Comforters tend to be heavier and made more for cold weather months and something to snuggle in to keep warm.

I think it is heavy, but I have a hard time describing what degree of heavy. It's crisp and holds it shape, very well made. In summer, if it is 75 degrees indoors, one sheet and this bedspread provide plenty of warmth with no blanket. Sorry, I couldn't do a better job in defining "heavy."

it's good for summer. i just removed the down comforter i have under it in the winter. i do sleep with a fan on, but this is a nice light-weight quilt.

I would not plan on it for winter. The posts are strong enough for it but the covering MIGHT last one winter. My personal advice is do not plan on for winter. Heavy rains oh yes as we've had some already!!

This comforter is lighter than some winter down comforters, but we use is for winter in Oklahoma. It is not washable.

Yes, it looks nice but the comforter is really thin. Not good for winter if you want to stay warm.

Ah, I see you look at similar things as I do before you purchase, good for you. Check it out first. Yes, this comforter is definitely thick enough to warm in winter, and yet a cool enough fabric to leave on the bed all year. I had it on mine all spring & summer, and it was quite comfortable.

I did not find the fabric stiff. It is a fairly lightweight item and is not as soft as a traditionally quilted item.
