Yes I only used the fleece. I don't think I could have quilted it on my machine if I had added batting. It was really thick and heavy.
I think I will try the spray basting next time. I have to say though, it is very soft and warm and I will definitely make another one for my husband. He already grabbed this one.
I think I will quilt it with a simple grid next time,not do the freemotion like this one.
