I can't pass up a fleece remnant either - the louder the better. They make the BEST stuffed animals.

The pattern for the fleece slippers that I make is from Jo-Ann's, and it's on one of those stands in the pattern dept. under "The Green Pepper" title, not in a pattern book.

I use fleece as the backing for all my family quilts, with batting. Of course I hand quilt, dont know how this would work on a machine. It is very warm and wears well. We live on the Mass/NH border in a snow belt and it gets quite cold.

four layers of fleece will make a wonderful pot holder. I made 15 before Christmas for stocking stuffers...very well received!

A few things come to mind: hats, ear warmers, quilt backs, "silky" blankets (the ones with silk ribbons), sweatshirts, pjs, lounging pants...

You can also put corn, rice or cherry pits in a muslin bag and make a pillowcase out of fleece, put in the microwave and put on your aching joints.
