Default Light weight coverlet quilt???

I am beginning to have grands who are graduating from college. They have all gotten quilts from me that are very warm, with batting, and fleece backing, since we are in the northern clime, and it is cold in winter. Now they are asking if I could do a light weight quilt for their summer beds. I have no problem with that, but am not sure if just the quilt top and cotton backing will quilt well. I do not do heavy quilting, since I do all my own quilting and just on my sewing machine. Do I still need to use something like flannel for a batting or would it be heavy enough without any batting? Does anyone have any suggestions? I welcome any and all ideas, and thank you for replying.
