The daughter of a quilting friend of mine wanted a cozy quilt and asked her mom to put fleece as the backing but with no batting since she didn't want it too warm since she lives in the South. Her mom said NEVER AGAIN. Way too many problems. It shifted, puckered, and she was even using her walking foot. Her daughter loves the quilt and coziness of it just the way it is and she doesn't see anything wrong with it!
