As for going from a bag to a quilt its a great feeling, more freedom of movement. but you have to pick the right one.  Factor in if you are a warm sleeper or cold then the length.    was using a MH Phantom 32 sleeping bag before the switch.

Purchase the Enlighten Equipment Quilt 4 months ago.... 30 degree 6 ft reg / half tapered and 30% overfill. 

So far used it on 2 trips goes down to what I need. will not go back to a regular sleeping bag for 3 season camping again. I use this in a Squall 2 tarptent with a 1.5" 3/4   inflatable pad & silk liner ( keeps it clean). Now as for me I'am a warm sleeper at 6'2" and want a quilt good to 20-25 degree that's why the overfill.

 Good luck on your choice of which  Quilt
