How Far Apart to Quilt With Fleece?
I'm making my first quilt using fleece instead of Batting. How far apart do I need to quilt? I know with Warm and White, I can go up to 10" but I have no idea about fleece.

Fleece will not separate like batting does with laundering and use so it truly doesn’t matter. You can quilt any amount you want- just quilt enough that you won’t have large areas that will ( balloon) after laundering. You want the quilting to hold the layers together.

Since fleece has no quilting distance requirements, you need to stabilize a quilt top to preserve it. The more the top moves, the quicker it wears out. I would do every 4-5inches like I do with a tied quilt but it is up to you.
