Here in Arkansas a quilt with any batting is too heavy in the summer time. I have two quilts without batting. One the top was made by my mother in law and hand quilted by my mother. The other I made for myself and tied it. And I call it a quilt if it goes on the bed unless it's a bedspread and only one layer thick. Edited to add - even in winter all I need is one quilt to stay quite warm.
