RE; washing...i would wash just to get the chemicals out....but i've found that fleece - being polyester - doesn't shrink or fade.
I have found that some fleece DID shrink - but that was from several years ago - so I can't say for certain what your piece will do.
I had made a two-layer fleece throw - and it was all nice and smooth after putting it together - after washing it, it was rumpled and would not lay flat. It turns out that the two different layers behaved differently after they were washed.
