I have this same quilt, which I bought for a cross-US tour. I consider it the best outdoor equipment purchase I've ever made. On that trip I used it in sub-freezing conditions in blowing snow in the North Cascades and it worked fantastic. Later in 100F+ scorching heat in the Midwest, it was perfect as well for when the nights finally cooled off enough to want to through something over. And since I never actually slept on it, it stayed clean still hasn't needed to be laundered.
