I'm making a quilt for my grandson and want to make the top cottons and the backing fleece. Will this work?? Should I wash the fleece first?

I tend to prefer the same weight for the whole back and the same weight for the whole top - but that is not what everyone else needs to do.

I think if I did have a 'rule' - if it's an item that is meant to be washed - to only use sturdy washable fabrics in it.
