I know you don't have furnaces in your homes down there - my aunt just has a small heater.

After I thought my decision was final (I drive myself crazy sometimes), I decided to call a quilt shop in Corpus because I figured they would certainly know what was best for their climate, and she told me that they mostly sell and use Quilter's Dream Select, so that's what I'll go with. I think I'll be happier with it too; this morning at my LQS I saw a couple of quilts that were quilted with the Request and they just seemed so...skinny. I'm used to my poufy wool quilts.
I"m not sure where you heard that we don't have furnaces in our houses. I don't know anyone that doesn't have a furnace here. We may not use them much but we have them! We have a large 2 story house and have one furnace for downstairs and one for the upstairs. Our downstairs furnace went out the day before Christmas weekend and we didn't get it fixed until the next week. We still had the upstairs one so it was warm up there and I was okay with the 65 downstairs.

I'm a bit mystified why your aunt doesn't have one in her house. Is it a really old house?
