Any one else ever hear this? What do you think of the idea?
In the South, temps are generally warmer but we still get some freezing temps. We also have central heat, as does the North. If a person wanted to make a cooler/warmer quilt (for whatever reason), it'd make a lot more sense to just change the batting. My guess is the person just wanted to pass along 'some' advice and that's what popped into her head, bless her heart!
