If you could help me with ideas of how to do the binding it be a great help, also do you the spray baste the fleece ?
Should it be tied or quilted or a bit of both?
It is a dark square in square, with black fleece and a wool combo batting.
I appreciate any help you can give me.
I frequently use fleece backings. They can be pieced just like a cotton backing, (1/4" seam).
I use cotton quilting fabric for the binding and bind just like a regular quilt, (binding cut to 2 1/2").
I spray baste the fleece and quilt the sandwich. I don't use batting.
