My summer quilt is a traditionally pieced quilt top with flannelette for the batting.
With the tri-layer of cotton, it is not warm, as cotton breathes.
While light in weight, I would avoid a polyester, as they don't breathe the same and in essence can be quite warm!
I live very slightly northwest of Houston. It's 106 degrees right now; I just came in the house, and it's a trifle warm out there!
The batting in the ugly quilt is cotton and it was so hot last night it was ridiculous. Maybe the bamboo or something might work ...
