Fleece backing-----Murphy's Law :(

Cinnya, I love your quilt, your colors are absolutely stunning! Our Wal-Mart only stocks cut lengths of a few fabrics, don't think they have those. To the ladies who have spray-basted quilts with fleecy backings, did this solve the problem? I'd love to make one but am afraid of getting poor results.

Love the look of your quilt from here! So just so I understand, you FMQ this with your feed dogs up? You only pinned andid not spray baste? You used polar fleece? The reasons for all the questions is my daughter would like me to make her a throw with minke on the back. Any tips would be helpful. Thanks for your post.
Everybody gave me such good advice so I cant wait to make another one.This time I will definitely spray baste and pin.
I am making my label now for the quilt and I am calling it......... MURPHY

The quilt is beautiful, love the colors. That fabric is beautiful.
I just had a cotton quilt top finished with a fleece backing, and I will think twice before doing that again, it did not turn out as nice as just using cotton batting with just cotton fabric on the back.

It is a pretty quilt. I have avoided using fleece for that reason!
