I am making a quilt that will basically be used for those cool summer nights.  I normally use warm and natural, but wonder if anyone has a suggestion for a lighter bating?

I've used a light weight poly batting with pretty good success.  When I've the light weight poly the quilts have not been as heavy as when I use warm and natural, so it might make a good summer quilt.
