The summer quilts my Gram made we patchwork or applique top, flannel
sheet for middle and unbleached muslin for backing. Instead of quilting
them per se, she would use a decorative embroidery stitch (usually some
form of feather stitch) over the seam between each block. Comfy, cozy,
not too warm for upstate NY summers.

Hi All,

I made a quilt that I'd hoped would work for summer--used a light, low-
loft batting. Unfortunately, here in the Mojave desert, the quilt is
still too heavy for summer. (Will work great for winter though.) So
I'm thinking of giving a summer weight quilt another shot. Instead of
using a batting, I'm considering using a sheet instead. Has anyone
tried this? I'd love to hear any other suggestions!

Thanks in advance!
