I make them and call them summer quilts. I use them when I just need a little something to cover with in the eve. when sitting on the porch. Grandkids love laying on them after the pool.

that's how they used to do it thee olden days...I have 5 or 6 quilt my grandma made when she was growing up on a farm and none of her's have batting. They're great for the summertime because they're so light and airy!

Here are 2 I made. I just did SITD to hold the layers together.

I used up all my scraps on them.

I have also used flannel on the back with no batting & this works out real well & they wash up good too.

It may not be as thickly frayed with two layers, but it will work just fine :D:D:D
