Fleece Instead of Batting?
#3
I've used fleece for backing. I've used in both on flannel quilts & t-shirt quilts with no "extra" layer so just the top and the fleece back and it worked very well. Not sure why you would want to cover the fleece with a fabric...

I'd have to use too many layers of flannel in place of batting so I thought of fleece.

Yes ... I have done it.
Once together, it is just like a normal batting.
You can use whatever you want for a batting ... if that is what you like.
The best way to find out is to try it ... and see how you like it!
I have used flannelette as a batting too.

I use fleece (with no batting) on the backs of my quilts all the time. I just make sure to load them on the long arm with the stretchy going up and down not across, the quilting is open patterns to keep everything soft and drapeable.
