I pin the top to the fleece with wrong sides together, do my quilting, then bind. Another option is the birthing method; put the top and backing together, RIGHT sides together, stitch around the sides, leaving an opening at least 8" at the side or bottom thru which you can turn the quilt right sides out. After turning it, you then stitch around the outside edges and do your quilting or tie it as desired.
This would be my choice also. Pin your top and fleece to your carpet with the fleece side down, then pin in the middle to hold it and stitch in the ditch. Then sew your binding to the edge, flip to the right side and Elmer's school glue it ti the front side and stitch in place.
Thank you and good luck.
