This Christmas for my family I made 7 quilts using fleece as the backing with no batting -- 6 were 50 by 50 inch carpenter's wheels, using 6 1/2 inch squares -- they were relatively fast and easy and looked good -- I quilted 1/4 inch inside the squares and stars after pinning the fleece and top together -- no problems at all -- I quilted with a 1932 Singer 15-91
