    You can make a quilt from a cheap older sleeping bag.
    Typically down quilts are high end specialty items. I dont think you will find a new one for $100.
    Around $200 will get you one from EE though.

    GoLite 1-season down quilt on sale for $120 + shipping right now. If it's anything like the 3-season, which I own, it's a very well-made and comfortable piece of gear.

    Oh and shipping's free on that since it's over a benji.

    That Golite is out of stock.

    Occasionally good used quilts are sold for around $100.

    A quilt you make yourself is $83 from rayjardine.com.

    Agree the RayJardine quilts are the most affordable. Used an old GoLite 20 degree quilt for 3-4 years is the SE, however I recently upgraded to a custom quilt from MLD.

    I sleep between trees, making one yourself and gaining the knowledge is useful. My under quilt (hennesy pattern) 800 fill water proof fabric(seattle fabrics) was a pain but well worth the effort.

    Golite is releasing a new line of 30 degree quilts sometime soon. On their site it says the z series. They are 850 down using Pertex Quantum GL fabric. I emailed asking for full specs and they don't have them yet.
