Did you put on a fleece border?
No, I think the border, and top were all made of cotton, only the back was fleece. There was another thread on which we discussed fleece as backing and, you can bind as usual, or wrap the fleece to the front for fleece binding. The neat thing about that is: fleece doesn't ravel like other fabric, so a decorative stitch along the edge when you use the fleece from the backing as the binding ... works really well <wave>
