Just to thank you for the question ) I can see I was going to be asking
it in the not too distant future. I'm piecing a scrappy for the caravan and
we go north to Queensland every year so using cotton, wool or poly batting
was just going to be way too hot. I like the idea of using flannel as the
"batting". That would be a good alternative.

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!
