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'm in Fl., and I use warm and natural batting for all my quilts. With air conditioning and opening windows in the fall, nobody has complained of the quilts being too warm for them.

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.

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.
