I'm working on quilting one for my mom for christmas and she must have used wool or something. The quilt is hotter than most to sit under! But I have found that if I sit in my bed, I can put most of the quilt to the side and only have a little bit on top of me. It's too hot to quilt during the day, so I piece or make up kits, and at night I'll quilt but make sure the fan is on!
