Help!!! this is probably a silly question, but I have been told there are no silly questions..I want to make fleece quilts for my grandkids, fleece panels..will it be tricky to bind the two panels together? I don't want to tie around the edges, as the panels are not very big and I want to make it as large as I can.Is it possible to add fleece to the side and ends of the panel to make it bigger or will it pucker..As you can tell I am new to fleece, but my grandkids love the feel.thanks so much for any input you can send.

I probably would never use fleece as a backing unless I had a longarm. Otherwise I could see it shifting, stretching and making a mess. I do great with cotton and flannel quilts. No need to re-invent the wheel at my house!

If the question is directed to me...I don't mix cotton with flannels. I make all flannel quilts or all cotton quilts. I've not seen a need to mix them. Of course, I live in CA where our weather is very mild.
