I would recommend Quilter's Dream. For me, the drape of Warm'n'Natural is too stiff and isn't really what I would consider lightweight (although it's not heavyweight either).

Do you know if that would be the Quilter's Dream Cotton REQUEST? There are so many different types, I'm not sure which is the lighterweight.

I think REQUEST is the lightest weight.

Have you ever used this on a quilt large enough that you had to piece it? Any tips to reduce the bulk if so?

You should be able to buy king size white flannel sheets. One layer might even be just right for a really lightweight quilt.
