Many quilts were made made of different colors of polyester which made them very heavy. You might want to ask him about it. Sometimes they did not use batting because of the weight of the polyester. ( double knits ) I do not know what state you are in and your climate. I have seem them done both ways. With batting in them and without. I have several tied quilts and they are beautiful. The one thing I noticed is the quilter would tie it with a yarn that matched the quilt. Some of them used rug yarn as it was more durable and some used regular yarn. I myself would not use cordory. I can send you pictures of quilts from double knits. Just pm me. Good luck.
