I have a another question for you regarding my daughter's quilt. She is now asking to have a fleece backing......after I went out and bought the flannel that she previously said she wanted :) How is the best way to handle using fleece? Should I have it quilted with only a fabric (muslim) backing, skipping the batting and then somehow attach the fleece? Or have you ever had luck using fleece as a backing with a long arm? If I ever get this quilt done it will be a miracle!!! I'm attaching a picture of the completed top cuz I'm so darn proud of myself I could just wiggle all over :) I can guarantee this pattern will never, ever be repeated by me as long as I shall live!! Why I thought a beginner could tackle a pattern like this is beyond me. As my quilting instructor said "are you stupid!" but then told me how proud she was :)[/quote]
Can you talk your daughter into a flannel backing? It's still soft and cuddly and easier to quilt.
