A feather quilt, also know as a down comforter is going to be a good bet if you are looking for warmth. These blankets, so long as they have a high concentration of down (feathers) are very warm. They are also good because they adjust to the climate so that you will never be too hot or too cold. You can also up the ante on warmth by purchasing a flannel comforter cover (duvet) and keeping it inside that during the winter.
