Batting for Southern quilts
 

I am making a quilt for my 3 year old grandson's "big boy " bed. He lives in NC where it is much warmer than where I am in upstate NY. I usually use warm and natural batting but am afraid this will be too heavy and warm. Any suggestions? What do Southern quilters use? Thanks for any help.

I use warm & natural and Hobbs heirloom 80/20. I live in Arizona with summer temps exceeding 110 degrees and I keep the house around 79 degrees with ceiling fans. I sleep under a quilt every night.

I use Quilters Dream down here in FL.

I live in Western NC...we have the best of both worlds...hot in the summers, cool to down-right cold in the winters. I use warm & natural 100 o/o cotton batting in all my quilts...we use quilts year round, and add more quilts as needed in the winter.

I have heard some say they use flannel as batting if they want a very light weight quilt.

When I lived in Ca, I used W&N, and now I am in AL and everyone here uses it as well. Sort of universal, it isn't a heavy material...quilted less dense makes a lighter quilt as well.

I still love Warm & White or Warm & Natural. It must be popular because it sells out down here just as fast as when I lived in Ga.

when i lived in florida, i used the same weight quilt that i use here in minnesota now.

Thanks for such quick replies. I wondered about just using a flannel backing, but didn't seem like enough. I guess warm and natural, lightly quilted is the way to go.
