That person is very narrow minded. My family's absolutely favorite quilt (we call it the sick quilt) is an over sized twin that's been handed down that is grandmother's fan and flannel backing. The back has gotten so smooth over time and its so soft. The quilt is very light weight (we live in the South) so I'm not even sure there is batting in it.
We all want it when we're sick just to curl up in. Even found it in my youngest son's room after a bout of flu last year (big policemen even need comfort!)
