This week you might just need regular quilts there! You can use a regular or flannel sheet for batting to make lightwieght quilts. Or you can use wide width muslin. Just make sure you prewash them because muslin and flannel will shrink differently than regular quilting fabric. Personally I'd have a stash and machine at both ends. I'd only cart back and forth a project that I wanted to finish. But, I don't know what the humidity is like there and you might not want to leave a big stash if there's a chance it would get ruined.
