I have two EE quilts and have used them below 0 above 7000' and have stayed warm. One is a 0 degree made with cuben fiber (not made any more). It is a vapor barrier. The other is a newer 20 degree. With the 20 degree I used a WM Hotsack VBL (Vapor barrier) and kept warm in single digits.
I also have a WM Antelope that I've used below 0 and I prefer the quilt.

I have two Western Mountaineering bags. The Antelope is rated at 5° and the Alpinlite is rated at 20°. I use the 20° bag throughout the summer and switch to the 5° bag for hunting season. They are both pretty lightweight and have goose down insulation and you know the pros and cons of that. I like them both. I took the 5° bag to Kodiak in December and made it work but a bag with synthetic insulation would have been easier to keep dry.
