Yes. We also call them, "summer quilts." The DH and I used to live in Hawaii, where it is always a warm, 80 degrees year round, so no need for batting. There was a quilt artist's shop on Kauai that sold beautiful, summer quilts. Every time my husband, or I would go back, we would buy one of her quilts. That was many years ago. We bought them in the late 70s and 80s. We still have one, or two left, which we get out every summer for use on the couch, or porch.
She tied her quilts. I usually don't like tying, because they generally don't hold up as well, but hers are still going strong, so that's what I would do. I think that her fabrics have some polyester in them, which may have contributed to the sturdiness of the quilts.
