I've made one quilt this way and did not use batting. I quilted it, leaving room around the edges of the top so I could just turn it under and stitch it, leaving a bit of the fleece for fringes around the edges. I have some cuddle fleece that I bought for backing of a baby quilt. I can't wait to try it, but I don't think they recommend leaving raw edges for the cuddle fleece like you can for the polar fleece.
