I love fleece backing for my baby quilts...nothing else in the middle.
|
The times I have used fleece for backing, I just put the top and fleece together --it seems to work Ok that way.
|
I recently made a quilt top from cotton drapery samples and decided it would be too heavy if I added batting so I just used cordinating fleece for the back. I machine quilted it. My son loves it and said it seems to be so much warmer than other quilts. By the way I washed it when it was completed and that really softened the cotton drape fabric.

Very pretty.

I have used Berber (spelling). It is different than fleece and I machine quilted it.

I am currently making a baby quilt for a baby who will live on the northern Pacific coast, so I have put a layer of batting and a layer of fleece inside, and put pre-quilted tricot on the back. It works but quilting was a real challenge. Good luck!

I used fleece for a cotton top quilt made for my DB, making the fleece 3 inches larger all the way around then rolled it to the front for the binding. Just hand tied with the help of my DH pulling the strings through with pliers. It worked and DB loves it.

I bet!

This really interesting as I am having one quilted now. I have had mixed feed back as well.

I love using fleece on the back of a throw or on baby quilts. It is soft snuggley, and doesn't slide off the person using it. Because fleece is knit and not as stable as a woven ,you want to watch for overquilting and avoid puckers on the fleece back.
