Sleeping Bag VS Quilt

[tdot]

You mentioned KY and moderate climates. Is the 20 degree just for CO and you have your normal gear sorted?

If not, one option is to layer 2 quilts or a quilt and a bag. It gives you more versatility. Ie. A 30 degree bag covered by a 40 degree quilt will get you to 20 degrees, bump that to a 30 degree quilt and you'll be roasting at 20 degrees. Then you have a bag to keep out drafts and a quilt for the warmer nights..
The system may be slightly bulkier then a 20 degree bag, but its divided, so easier to pack.

I think I'm going to stick with a sleeping bag, does anyone have any suggestions for a budget bag that is lightweight and not very bulky? I will mainly be using it in Ky and we have a pretty moderate climate.

I have a Mountain Hardwear Lamina 15° bag. It's light and compresses really well for a synthetic bag. I think the regular size weighs 3lb 1oz. My long bag compresses to about the size of a volleyball.
It's not as light as down but much easier on the wallet.
