Are Batik quilts hot?
Recently several people have told me that Batik quilts are very hot because of the closeness of the fibers and that the fabric doesn't breathe well. Has anyone else noticed or heard of this? I ask because I am considering making a quilt for myself in Batik fabrics. Being a woman in her late 60's, who still gets hot flashes in the middle of the night, I am now wondering if this is such a good idea.
I was planning on making the quilt with both the top and the backing in Batiks. In fact, I already have the fabric purchased. If the fabrics are hot, then how about just using one or the other on top or the bottom and regular cotton on the other?
Any opinions on this?
