I'm make a quilt for my nephew who just finished Airforce bootcamp. Since he is stationed in Mississippi he said it gets hot there so not a real heavy quilt.

Here's the question, I have the top done and can't decide on a batting. I absolutely hate to machine quilt, but I will for this one because it needs to be sturdy. What would you all recommend for a batting that won't require a lot of close quilting? Quilters Dream Puff can be done every 10", but I think the poly would be too warm for him. I looked at Warm and Natural but am unsure if it would hold up to wide quilting? Alternatively I wonder if flannel would be heavy enough as a filling?
