2p UL quilts / blankets

Hey there I'm after some input and suggestions.

I'm after an ultra light summer quilt for my partner and I to use, it needs to be approx 150 X 190 centimetres in size.
Last summer we used a s2s traveller tr1 large size and with liners we were comfortable down to 10C and probably could have gone lower with more clothing.
Since then I have picked up a thermarest blanket but I'm not impressed with the packed size.

I'd really like something a bit more technical and ideally in synthetic, probably apex. I like the look of the MLD FKT quilt and that's what I'd get for for solo use but it's not big enough for 2. Currently the best thing I've found is the Klymit versa blanket but I'm sure there's something better out there.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm happy to pay up if necessary.

PS I have a macpac NZAT quilt for cold conditions. This is really for a low limit of 5-10C.

Do you want and/or need the zip feature of the S2S blanket?
Have you considered DIY?

I do not require the zip. Never actually used it.

I haven't considered DIY because I understand UL Materials are quite hard to work with and I don't have any equipment either way.

Zenbivy light quilt maybe? The 40 degree (F) one is synthetic but not sure it would qualify as ul. Mine does double duty as my quilt for in the camper.

The UL fabrics are a little difficult to sew without a newish / more modern machine and why I haven't done so myself.
Have you asked TerraRosa if they could do a simple flat quilt/blanket in a queen size?

I haven't but that is a good idea. I've seen that company mentioned a bit on here.
Thanks

Do you know what the weight is? I couldn't see any specifications at all online.
