McDaniel,
I just finished my first two fleece backed quilts. I bought the non-pill from Joann's and Hancocks. The non-pill brand from Hancocks was heavy enough that I did not include batting. It was a camel color and quilted beautifully. The next was a lavender from Joann's and was a little lighter, so I added flannel as batting. They were very soft after washing and I'm happy with the results. I bought non-pill cause I heard it can after many washings. Just make sure when you machine quilt to make the stitches longer and I had not problem, even with decoratives stitches, just went slower.
