Summer weight quilt question
Howdy!
Yes, Estelle; should work just fine w/ the 2 layers of fabric.
More quilting would help stabilize the seams, keep them from fraying;
batting gives a cushion to those seams, makes the extra thickness
sink into that cushion, protecting them from wear. More quilting thru'
just the 2 layers should provide some of that protection.

I would definitely go for it, the only thought that occurs is that if you
want to any decorative rather than functional quilting that it would be
rather like doing machine embroidery and need a stabiliser. If you needed
to do that over the entire quilt that could end up expensive, but if there
are just sections you want to pay more attention to, it would probably work
out fine you could just iron on some tear away stabiliser under those
sections.
cheers
