I put a soft fleece of some kind for the backing on many kids quilts and they seem to like that. Depending on the feel of the quilt I may not even put batting in some of these as the backing and top are enough.

I Use fleece to back the kids quilts. They do like that extra softness.

Yup. This is why I have not made quilts for one set of grandkids. They have many fleece blankets And I have aand told me quilts made them 'cold'. Maybe when they are older.
He also loved it, in his words, "Because I watched you make it." He won the 'Best Grand Kid of the Year Award' when he said that! |

I've done it both ways -- without any batting, and also with a layer of thin batting. Both came out fine. The one w/o batting was very flexible and scrunchable. Only thing to watch for when quilting with the fleece backing is not to stretch it. I have a longarm --- never tried using fleece when quilting on a regular domestic machine.

I'm at an age where I kind of know family members who will appreciate a quilt and yes the soft cuddly stuff is so comfortable.
I'm actually going to try to sell some of my fabric as I only want to keep what I know will be used in some kind of project. I recently gave a quilt to a friend's daughter's wedding. It was one I had previously made and I kind of knew the likes of the couple so I picked out of one of them and gifted it to them. The quilt I gave them is now on their bed and they both really like it. |
