I have fleece backing, then cotton batting and the top is cotton as well. I also put a ruffle, which is what is keeping me from taking things apart... would be a lot of work to take apart even without the ruffle. The ruffle is what will keep me from just folding the back to the front as well..... but I will think about Tartan's suggestion as far as leaving the "puff" along the edges. I will just starting pinning really well this evening and see how it looks. Thank you
