I'll agree with others in that I would recommend a 20 degree set-or perhaps a 20 degree UQ and 30 degree TQ to start out. That way, you COULD make it work year round. That being said, if your summers and early falls/late springs are anything like mine in GA, don't be surprised if you find yourself looking for a 40 or 50 degree set for warm weather. Just because I can make a 20 degree set work in warm doesn't mean I like it. It's a lot of extra weight and bulk to carry around in the pack then at night, you have to do workarounds to make it comfortable. Buying your first quilts is a huge jump, for sure. I'd check out the For Sale forum here as well as the many online Buy/Selll/Trade sites, and of course ebay. If you ever are lucky enough to find a used Wilderness Logics Summer series quilt set, buy it. These discontinued quilts are great for warm weather If you want to buy new, it's much easier than it used to be as many of the cottage vendors now offer "econ" versions which are just as warm, just a bit heavier/bulkier than the premium models. Good luck!
