I;m sorry to hear about your troubles...
several years ago as a new quilter, I used a batting and a fleece for a backing...
I didn't do anything fancy for the quilting and it is one of my favorite feeling quilts...
currently I am tring to use a fleece for a backing again,,,but remember...again nothing fancy...up and down, top to bottom...then round the bindings...
wish me luck.
