    My sister lives in California and we use warm and natural for her. She really likes it and of course...the ac is on all the time. :)

    Here in NE Florida, I have used W&N, Dream Cotten Request and Thermore - a very thin polyester batting. I use my quilts all year long as do my family members in South Fla.

    I use the Tuscany Collection from Hobbs. It's reeally lightweight and perfect for warm climates :).

    I'd use Warm & Natural, but a good quality flannel sheet could also work as well.

    Does anyone just use backing with no batting? we live in jersey on the shore and we have NO AC. I have been told that this is the way they used to make them for summer use.

    It depends how cold she gets. I live in FL and I use W&N in all my quilts. Polyester makes me sweat.

    I live in Fl 6 months out of the year, and I use Warm and Natural in all my quilts. We live in Fort Myers and in the winters it can get really chilly....I appreciate a nice warm quilt, so my two cents is use Warm and Natural.

    My dd and her husband live in GA. Made them a ks quilt and used cloud light. They love it and keep it on the bed year round.
