A couple of years ago I made a top and just wanted a Summer Quilt--without any batting. The girl who did the machine quilting said it was okay when she looked at it.
When she got done she said it would have been better to have something for a batting; that it would have been easier to quilt;even a sheet.
I love the quilt, and it looks nice; just the quilting was the issue.
Enjoy!
