And this is for some very light quilts — 9.7oz TQ and 8.8oz UQ — so I can only imagine things getting worse with fall and, for sure, winter quilts.
This morning when packing up it really didn't make it any faster for me. And it went unusually quickly this morning because I didn't use the tarp last night, what with a solid 0% chance of rain.
