Wool batting is my first choice, Minky for a backing would be my second choice.
Do a bit of homework for which its the best wool batting as some are not machine washable, the quilting distance can vary, and shrinkage can vary quite a bit.

I live in Maryland and lemme just say - the weather fluctuates like crazy! Especially in the spring and fall. One night you're layering blankets and the next you're ripping them off. I always find it more convenient when the quilt is 'heavy' as opposed to 'warm' in this kind of climate. That way it weighs down my other blankets or just lets me rest with nothing more than a sheet.
Regardless, I'm sure they'll love it! I sleep with a quilt from my great aunt every night.

I agree with Jennalyn, it doesn't really get all that cold here and when it does, it isn't for very long.
I like W&N in a cotton quilt because it's good for most seasons. If truly I'm that cold I'll put on flannel PJs and layer blankets.
