I use it as batting for quilts that will get a lot of washing - such as for children/babies. It holds up a lot better than any quilt batting through all of the washings.

Great battimg for chemo quilts as clothing or blankets used for this have to be washed everytime a person has chemo treatments, to keep the chemo chemicals from spreading onto anyone who might touch them and making them sick

I made some seatbelt covers to velcro on so the strap doesn't hurt my neck.

I bought a piece and am using it instead of a matress pad for my grandson's crib. It is soft and it washes up beautifully every time.

Pillows, mittens, hats.... Give them to kids to make things.... I teach and my students are very creative when working with fleece! Let your creative juices flow! :-)

Fleece booties or winter slipper socks with gripper feet are great.

I bought several fleece blankets on sale . It got really cold here, so I made a lounge/bath robe out of one, needs no lining, cuffs I made with flannel . No more freezing in the mornings.

Make small "blankies" and donate to the local animal shelter. They are always looking for blankets/pads for the cages.
