Hello everyone I'm new to the forum, but I just had to chuckle and make a small comment when I saw the title of this thread. The quilt looks wonderful! I would have never thought to use fleece as a backing though. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who dubs troublsome projects the quilts from hell! I started on one in January of this year that I don't think I will EVER tackle again. I might use some of the elements, but not make the entire quilt again. I hope to be done by Christmas as it is suppose to be a gift for my in laws, but we'll see. Happy quilting everyone!
