Totally agree!
That being said, often times quilters look to the LAQ'er for their expertise and advice.
You have been given some good "food for thought" to discuss with the quilt owner.
Another consideration would be the warmth of the quilt.
For me, the one quilt I have with no batting between the fleece and the pieced top, is plenty warm enough, as the fleece alone provides good warmth, totally on its own.
Ultimately, do not change the plans, without speaking with this person.
After all ... if that is what the customer wants, then that is what the customer should get!!
