Give the quilts...I live in a "hot humid" climate and still use my quilts. Actually, being all cotton, they feel "cool" against your skin. And with AC sometimes the kiddies get cold, especially during nap time. My DGBs have to have their "blankies" just to snuggle with while napping. And they do make great "forts"! LOL We play "forts" all the time!
