seaside quilter

My t-shirt quilt is just about finished, so it's time to buy the backing. I'm thinking of using fleece. I think I almost have to use a solid color because it might turn out too busy. Your thoughts?

1. How does fleece work out for a backing?
2. What is suggested to use for the binding?
3. Should I go with a print, or stick with a solid?

Thanks,
