Using fleece instead of batting
#12
When I'm doing quick baby quilts, I will often back them with polar fleece instead of using batting and a cotton backing. I have one friend who orders quilts for her real estate clients and specifically requests the fleece back, because they're so snuggly. When I use the fleece, I don't put batting in the quilt, it just becomes too bulky, especially for AZ.

You could, it's a personal choice. But I think it's safe to say that the majority of us that use fleece don't use a separate backing. The fleece does a great job at being batting and backing all in one - and soooo soft and snuggly!
I would strongly suggest though that you use polar fleece or another fleece that is marketed not to pill. It makes all the difference after many washings.
