Fleece is great, but NO batting. If you put batting in, the quilt will be too warm. The child getting your quilt with the fleece backing will LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it.

Guess I'm in the minority. Fleece makes me sweat - it just doesn't feel "breathable" to me, so I won't use it for anyone else's quilt if it might make them sweat, too....

How about quilting on a frame, which way do you put it on the frame. Don't work with fleece so have no clue about frame quilting something. Looks like lots of you have been using it as backings.

I have used fleece as batting, but I have always balked at using it on the back as I find it collects lint/bits/pet hair etc. I vacuum every day, but my home seems a magnet for 'debris'.

I've tried to use fleece, but it stretches and I have ended up with puckers. How do I eliminate this.....using domestic machine.....Thanks for any tips.......: )

So thankful for this post. I have 6 quilts for the northern Midwest I'm working on and wondered if the fleece would be warm enough.. Was considering a light weight loft for the batting but may the fleece will be enough?

I do this all the time..... kids don't like a heavy quilt..... these are just right.

Yes, absolutely! I use fleece and no batting on all my charity quilts. The hospital loves them. I even quilt on them with no problem. Enjoy!
