20-degree quilt worked fine for me the whole way and I continue to  
use it wherever I go.

If I had to buy another bag, I might just go for a regular 20-degree  
sleeping bag and keep it unzipped to use as a quilt whenever I wanted  
a luxurious, roomy pile of down wrapped around me and zip it up  
whenever I thought a fully-zippered experience might be useful.
