I lived for years in Michigan and now live in Florida. I make my quilts for Florida the same way I did when I lived in a northern area. I live in the Nature Coast of Florida (about 150 miles into FL) and it gets chilly here in Jan and Feb so a quilt is a welcome addition. Many of the houses in Florida are made of block on slabs and not insulated as heavily as northern houses so they do get chilly around the edges more easily. Add that to what others have said about becoming acclimated to warmer weather and warm in the north is cool in the south. I like Warm and Natural batting and it is what I use for any quilt I make. My Florida quilter friends either use that or 80/20.
