Top and flannel or flannel sheet backing
Top, flannel, and backing
Top and (ordinary) cotton or cotton sheet for the backing - I remember my Grandma B made some of those
Top, thin batting (have to look for it), and backing
I suppose that - technically - a quilt is three layers -
But, as far as I know, there is no law that says that a cover or coverlet has to be any more than one layer!

I made a summer quilt last year with out batting and found that it wrinkled easy and did not seem to have enough body. I am making another one this year and am going to put flannel in the center. I tried it and it seem to have have a nice feel to it and should still be light weight.
