Wink How to quilt fleece backing/cotton top?

I have made a Jello Roll Race quilt top and want to use fleece as a backing. I have not quilting this combo before, and have only done very limited quilting by machine. How do I quilt this? A friend told me to sew right sides together and leave and opening on one side then turn the quilt through it. I do not have a walking foot or free motion foot on my machine. I was going to quilt maybe every 4th strip or so using the seam as a guide and just do straight lines. How do I do this without the quilt bunching? I guess I could pin it before I sew it. If I do chicken out on the quilting I did get some peal cotton for tying the quilt. It's for my one and only niece who is always cold and wanted a quilt with a fleece backing. It's a lap size quilt and it's a Christmas present. Any suggestions or ideas would help! Thanks! I hope everyone is working hard on their Holiday projects!!!! It's going to snow here starting tonight, all errands done so I can sew tomorrow!!
