I got a chance to see and hold a quilt with a flannel front and fleece backing. I was very pleased with the weight, since I am looking for warm and lightweight for a lap robe for a very frail lady. The fleece is going to fill the bill very well.
The sample I was looking at had been quilted on a frame with loops and hearts and draped nicely, which is always desirable if one wants a quilt to be cuddly.
I was impressed enough with the end results that I will be donating a bolt of fleece to our Project Linus group ... though I did warn them that fleece is not good for critical care recipients.
The micro fleeces and fleece in general, apparently, are too conducive to becoming habitat for dust mites and other little things that make healing very difficult. (just an FYI from our liver transplant unit) <wave>
