    Wouldn't fleece would be pretty warm?

    I often use flannelette as a wading in what I call "an in-between season" quilt.

    It gives a lovely finish when quilted- a bit more than just 2 layers - and is a good weight for when you need more than just a sheet type weather.

    I made 4 summer blankets with no battings. They are just right for hot summer nights.

    Fleece is polyester so it doesn't breathe like cotton. If someone is sensitive to that, they will be miserable using a quilt with fleece in the summer. A lot of flannel is all cotton so, I think, that might be a better choice.

    I like my quilts with batting for summer better than winter because with the air conditioning I'm always cold. You know "it's not a quilt" if it doesn't have three layers. I think I would use warm and natural, it is only 1/8 in. thick.

    I'd probably use Quilter's Dream Request cotton batting. It's thin.
