My gran made my sister & I 'summer weight' quilts for our beds when I was 15 - I still have mine. It was made with no batting, just tied. It's held up great, the only "problem" with it is some sun damage; it laid over the back of my couch for a few years when I first moved out of my parent's home and so the strip that was uppermost got sun bleached. I kinda don't mind though, it's just another page in the quilt's story!
