You may have to go with either or. Either use fleece and no batting or use batting and a regular cotton backing. If there are any seams in the fleece they'll be very bulky so you really want to leave it whole.
Quilt as you go is done block by block as a rule. You might be able to do a quilt as you go if you make each block and then do a sort of quilt as you go in just the block seams and sew them to the fleece whole. But that still leaves out batting.
I just finished doing a quilt where I QAYG in two lines. and the fleece on the back does not have any extra bulk at all. All I need to do now is put on the borders and bind it, that is easy to do since I left extra wadding and backing fabric to cover the borders.
