I have made 2 "summer" quilts. 1 with no batting in the middle- cotton piecing on the front and cotton backing. This one was very light weight but it did not have very good body and wrinkled all the time. The 2nd one I used flannel as the batting and actually it was just as heavy as regular batting I use (Hobbs 80/20) and the flannel cost more that using Hobbs batting. Also I had to piece the flannel- not so with batting! I use/made these quilts with bright/cool colors for summer. If I make another "summer"quilt I will put regular batting in it. I live on Ohio but use the AC in summer so house is cool so might need quilt!
