Baby Quilt- Batting?
This is for a long tried for and yet unexpected little man who is going to arrive in October.
My plan is to back it with minky. Should I put batting in or not? The little man will live in Savannah, GA so I don't think he'll need a lot of warmth, but I'm afraid the backing will show through the white without the batting.

It was really hard for me to make a quilt with no batting. But my granddaughters favorite quilts here in Texas are "batt free". Yel's idea of a flannel middle is a great way to solve your see through problem.

I know what SheriR means too. My sister loves a very lightweight quilt and I have made her several over the years with the thinnest batting I can find, but I know in my heart that I need to make her one without batting. But somehow I've never been able to make myself do it! I keep getting stuck on the old "it's not really a quilt unless it has all three layers". But I'm going to break out of that rut and make her next quilt without batting.
