I like to use bamboo batting for a summer quilt. It is truly thin and does not retain heat, but will keep you comfortable when the air conditioning is going.

I like to use decorative stitches also but I incorporate the decorative strip into the casing - no need to iron it because it is all one piece. Also, fewer seams at the same point.
