Fleece is the best for dusting. I have always planned (but never did!) to cut some pieces with one of the fancy rotary cutter blades and give them to my friends.
I have even used them under chair legs as pads or even as batting in baby blankets or bibs....
The list goes on and on!

I work with a group of young people and they make blanket kits for Ronald McDonald House. They do the all the cutting and leave the tying to the kit recipients. These parents do a lot of waiting-for tests, surgery, etc. This gives them something to keep their hands and minds busy. They make any size from infants to twin. They also include instructions and a kind word or two.

Hi, I'm Bob and I'm a fleece-aholic. My favorite use for fleece, (when my SO complains about the vast horde of fleece I have) is to make stuffed animals. Any stuffed animal pattern can be made from fleece, the animals are softer, washable and last longer than most other fabrics. They make great gifts for kids or even adults. My most often requested animals are elephants and pigs.
