Default FMQ with fleece back? FMQ with flannel back?

Have any of you free motion quilted (fmq) with either fleece or flannel backings on your quilts? Could you post how that went, what you liked, and what you had trouble with? I would probably use polyester thread - or maybe cotton - for the top and bobbin threads. Would you advise this?

I'm actually thinking of making a quilt with a flannel top and a fleece back. It probably would not have batting. Would you think this could be free motion quilted? I've never tried fmq with this combination of fabrics before.

If I did a cotton quilt with fleece back, would you think that could be fmq?

I'm assuming that a cotton top and flannel back could be fmq. Do you agree?

I'm guessing that I could straight-line quilt any of these with a walking foot on a machine that could handle it. Do you agree?

What would be your choices?

Thanks,
Cricket
