Careful with that chart, it's a little dangerous...
I am still tinkering with it and getting more feedback from folks here and at BPL.
I have since added a "COLD" column. Some people bottom out more than originally realized.
Point being- Personal experience with APEX should set the lower or comfort temp. I say 40, some say 50, some say 60- depends on how you sleep and how you build/use it, and a little mystery too.
CS APEX is the safest choice considering all the variables out there. One layer of 2.5 is a good starter project. At worst- you will have a nice, light summer quilt that you can play with and determine your own rating with. If you like the ease of construction and don't mind a gram weenie level of weight difference- Make another one with 5oz of APEX.
PL is great on paper, great in clothing- what is not known is if all the quilting devalues the lab rating a bit. WV makes very interesting and innovative things with it, but his design goes a long way to cover any quilting loss- and as he says- you may not even notice the difference when it's all said and done.
Keep in mind- that chart is for a gram weenie (me) pushing things a bit. I don't mind if I make a project that doesn't work- if you're only making one- stick with APEX.
