When you back a quilt with fleece do you put batting in the middle or just do the fleece?

I just do fleece.

I've used a thin layer of batting with fleece. I've also only used fleece.

I didn't know you could use fleece. Do you have a regular cotton quilt top?

some use both depends on the look they want.

I have made a couple of rail fence flannel quilts backed with fleece. I didn't use any batting. They are tied, not quilted. They are favorites with my family! In fact, one has been used so much over the years that the seams of the flannel are coming apart.

I use Warm and Natural batting if I want it really warm and heavy. I've done it both ways and like it both!

I just use the fleece. It is usually warm enough on it's own.

ive wondered about this too.....if doing fleece with or without batting, is the binding the same as doing a normal quilt?

I have made three quilts with fleece for backing. I used warm and natural with cotton tops. They are heavy but warm. I used cotton fabric for binding on two of them and flannel for binding on the other. I like how soft the flannel binding is.
