Making a queen size quilt and dh said..don't make this one so heavy and hot. :hunf:
So...should I just use flannel sheet for the backing and forget about batting? Have used wm/nat in past but too heavy I guess for summer weight. Not concerned about not seeing a quilting pattern. Just gonna stitch in the ditch. Using a carpenter's wheel block pattern.

Well now I have another project to add to my list!
I use a regular quilt only a month or two out of the year so that would be a great idea. As a matter of fact this past winter was the worst cold I have had here where I am in Florida 24 years. I used my quilt a lot more than I ever have since making it.
Sounds like an other quilt for me!
