a quilt without batting??

Since this is our project and there are no quilt police to tell you that you can't, simply do whatever gives you pleasure. If you would like to quilt it---then go for it. Just be sure to let us see too. Good luck!

I made a quilt for a little girl in Africa that had no batting. Used just the top and the backing and quilted through the two layers. Worked perfectly and the little girl just loves it. So, go for it. If I can make a quilt for Africa, you can make a quilt for summers in the US. :lol:

Yes, I've made one - re-named bedspread or old-fashioned counterpane. Simply back the quilt top and quilt as desired :roll: I did french knots every 6inches or so and finished binding with piping, using white cord from vertical blinds (available in hardware shops) I have also made quilt covers by backing the top then adding a further backing to make the sleeve and can insert a plain bought quilt at any time when needed.

Our summers here a blanket is to much and a sheet is not enough, so I took a pretty sheet for the top and a flannel sheet for the backing. these are our summer quilts, we love them, they get washed every week with the sheets, and when they wear out I make another.
