I've heard of using a single layer of flannel instead of batting for things like table cloths, so I think it would work for a quilt, too. I'd definitely try it. It seems like that would give it a little more stability than a summer spread, which is more appealing to me, but that's a personal choice. I would make a sample to see if you like the feel.

There used to be something called a summer spread, I think... it was just the quilt and a backing with no batting inside. would that work? Kathy

I have a teenage grandson that is extremely warm natured. Although he lives in northeast Tennessee (where it can snow in winter) he sleeps with the windows open year round, often is in shorts with no jacket . I want to make him a quilt that he might actually use so I would like it extremely breathable and lightweight. Any suggestions on the best materials to use? I thought about using a single layer of flannel instead of batting but am not sure it would work. I've only worked with cotton batting so far. I wear wool in the winter in southeast Texas because it is so comfortable over a wide range of temperatures but don't know if wool batting would perform the same as my wool garments. I would love to hear your suggestions. Thanks so much, in advance.
