Nerys, I have done this very battingless quilt before (lived in Arizona at the time). You will LOVE it when it's done. I worked at a fabric store at the time (I had to do sewing classes, this is one I did), so I would get upholstery fabric (end of bolt, remnants what ever was in the colors I wanted - Black, Gold and Green). It gets heavy to work with, but it looked wonderful on the end of the bed over a green bedspread. Make your seams wider 1/2", upholstery fabric likes to unravel. Good luck and have fun
