What problems did you encounter such that you're going back to a bag? I'm curious because I'm almost about to pull the trigger on a quilt myself.

For the very lower temps I would rather have an enclosed bag even though the down on the bottom will be compressed. I will get a quilt for mid-range and warmer temps, like a 40 or something like that.

Dig up Just Bill's dissertations on the 20 degree cross over point between quilts and real sleeping bags.
The good news: A 40 degree quilt over a real 20 degree bag will lower the combined comfort rating.

Not warm enough, or was it drafty because you moved around, etc?

By definition a quilt has a larger air space that needs to be heated, especially compared to a mummy type sleeping bag. Therefore they make cold weather comfort more difficult. EE sells a multi quilt strap systems that allow the use of 2 quilts in winter conditions. The upper quilt helps eliminate drafts. However, drafts will be an issue for rotisserie type sleeper. By moving the attachment straps inward on the top surface of the pad you can create a more "cocoon" type wrap. It's much better, but not as tight as a mummy bag.
Not sure 20 deg is a magic number, since all of us have different internal thermostats, but for hard winter conditions a good mummy bag will be easier to use and stay comfortable.
