By fleece are you saying the kind that is used for the tie blankets and sports jackets, etc? If so you have plenty of quilting --I make fake quilts (they only have two layers so family says they are "fake") using this type of fleece and have quilted as far as 12" apart to keep my fabrics together. Twenty years later they are still holding up and have been taken from car to house and back to car several times a week. LOL
