Thanks again, Healthgram :)

What you could consider doing - make the top of whatever - then back it with the fleece - you could even make borders of the fleece.

I made a quilt for my grandsons - the only colors I liked for the backing and borders were brushed arnel (feels like washable velvet - bathrobes used to be made of it) - and I used t-shirt knit for the binding - because of the color and because it was manageable. It's their favorite quilt - and it always feels warm because it's fuzzy. The center of the top is made of quilting cottons.

With all of the fabrics prewashed and the flannel washed and dried twice, I would not be afraid to mix them JMHO
I hope that you find what you are looking for :D:D:D
