I have used fleece for quilt backings, but after heavy use and many washings, the fleece starts to pill. I am in process of making a memory style quilt from military uniforms...I will be using fleece as the batting and regular cotton for the backing. It will be warm, heavy duty and I won't have to do close quilting (for a man and I just don't see flowers and feathers as his style). You can get wide fleece for backings/battings, but I don't think it is much more than 90".
