As a former So. Ca resident, I can assure you that making a fleece or flannel blanket will get used. So. Ca has plenty of cold days, and nights, especially if someone lives close to the coast. I agree with CarolJ about the air conditioning. I always carried a sweater in my car for those chilly air conditioned establishments!

When we lived in San Diego, we lived about 12 miles from the coast. We did not have air conditioning, and it was only a few days in the summer that I wished we had it. Otherwise the temps were fairly mild.

Thanks everyone! DH and I are former So. CA residents but it's been 10 years since we lived there and I've forgotten that it can be chilly and that's a good point about the air conditioning. I like the idea of a of a lightweight flannel backed quilt with no batting. Great ideas, gals...thanks :)
