Hello happy quilter,
I've made many quilts without using batting of any kind. I choose fabric for backing that will compliment the weight of the top. I've not had a problem of anyone, even those living in the north USA climate accepting and using the quilts. Fabric used? Sometimes flannel, t-shirt fabric (cut from old t-shirts that are without blemish or stains), cotton/polyester blend bed sheets (all one piece and easy to work with - they are soft when washed). Hope this has helped. From a quilter-gal in north TX.
