SoCal or warm climate members - is it too warm for a quilt?
#12
I live in San Diego, CA now, and grew up on a beach suburb of LA. (Although I have lived the past 20 years in the South Pacific tropics and only moved back last year) It still gets cold at night, and with only maybe a month or two, I always use a quilt on my bed. I wouldn't worry about it at all. If it gets too hot during the summer for them, they can simply fold it down when they go to bed, but still use it to display on the bed. They will be thrilled-go for it-trust me!!

Finish the quilt and send it to them. And remember, in their life times, many people move often. He's already moved from CO to CA, what if his company opens an office or whatever in North Dakota? Or Virginia?
It does get cold here in winter, I'm still sleeping under a pair of nice warm quilts.

my sister lives in california. She used quilts all the time. When it is warm they have the air on so it is freezing in the house all the time. Even if they won't use it all the time, a quilt is wonderful to look at.

Thank you all for your kind words. When my brother and I talk we never get around to the weather and how chilly the nights might be. The quilt has been quilted using Warm and Natural batting. They're coming home for a visit this summer, so I'd better get the binding on in case they show up un-announced!
Best to all,
