Default What batting to use?
I have completed a baby quilt that is going to a baby in Florida. I am using Minky on the back is that enough or should I add batting?

You probably don't need more weight

I made one for my sister's friend when she lived in California. I used no batting at all. Turned out nice. If you need to put something in it, try a layer of flannel.

If it's going to a baby in Florida, I'd think the Minky would be warm enough.
