I pick up the fleece from the remanants at joannes. When on sale they are half off the sale price. Even if they are smaller, I cut them into 12" or 18" squares or strips, sew them together to size I want and then do the same as you would a solid pc. It is more work, but my grandkids can do the sewing since fleece is very forgiving if the seems aren't perfect. Mixing and matching colors, patterns, etc. Even if you can't stay with the school colors, when someone is cold at a football game, they may not even care about the color. And I get these remnants for the equivalent of $2 - $3 per yard. Last month one of our locals had them 75% off and they were on sale. I pd very little for a big bag of remnants. Good luck with your project. I hope you do well with it.
