I learned a lot from all of the suggestions in this post.
When I made a Summer Quilt a few years ago, the girl doing the machine quilting told me after seeing the top I had made, that no batting was needed.
We both learned that there has to be a batting of some sort. So, I now am going to use a cotton sheet for the batting.
She said that would work well.
We love the Summer Quilt altho the quilting wasn't as good without a batting. It is great to have for when the temp. suddenly drops in the Summer.
Good luck with your quilt.
Will file this so I can refer back to it when I get ready to get this one quilted.
Thanks to all!
