New from Iowa/Minnesota/Texas
 

Hi everyone, my name is Sandi and I am new to this board, but not so new to quilting. I live in Iowa, summer in Minnesota and travel to Texas for a month in the winter.

I do have a question. Has anyone ever used fleece on the back of a quilt, and if so, did you also use batting? I'm making a t-shirt quilt for my grandson and thought about putting fleece on the back. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Sandi

Welcome from Louisiana:) If you use batting it will be quite heavy and warm. It all boils down to personal preference. Keep us posted on your progress.

Hi and welcome to the board. I live in Nebraska, near Omaha, and spend about 3 months near Corpus Christi in the winter. I recently made a t-shirt quilt for my 17 y-o grandson. I used flannel around the t-shirt blocks and ended up using the same flannel for the backing with Quilter's Dream cotton batting. I asked my grandson if he would like a fleece backing but he thought it might be too warm. I would have used the cotton batting even if I would have done the fleece, just for stabilizing, I guess. Good luck with your quilt.
