Summer weight quilt question

desert quilter · 2007-08-26T19:06:45+00:00

Hi All,I made a quilt that I'd hoped would work for summer--used a light, low-loft batting. Unfortunately, here in the Mojave desert, the quilt isstill too heavy for summer. (Will work great for winter though.) SoI'm thinking of giving a summer weight quilt another shot. Instead ofusing a batting, I'm considering using a sheet instead. Has anyonetried this? I'd love to hear any other suggestions!Thanks in advance!Michelle in NV

Thanks for all the great hints, Val! I appreciate the heads up on the exceptional "shrinkiness" of flannel. I didn't realize it had a tendency to be worse than other fabrics. Good idea about the starch too.
