Want to use fleece panel as backing - Have you done this?
I've almost completed the lap size quilt top for my dd and had mentioned to her I was thinking about using a fleece panel for the backing. She really likes the idea as it will be snuggly. But I don't really want to quilt the panel and I don't think tying the quilt will work very well. Some of the blocks have lots of small pieces and I think it needs to be quilted. Should I layer the quilt top with thin batting and the original backing fabric I bought and quilt it, then add the panel on the back ? I'm considering not putting the panel on it and doing something separate with it for her. I'd really love to hear some ideas and any thoughts you might have.
I don't know why, but this has not been a very easy project and I would really love to get it finished. I have had it as a work in progress for so long that my mind just wants to ignore it.
