If I back with fleece, I don't use batting. This is what I do when I make T-shirt quilts.

I don't like batting because it is to warm. I use flannel in the sandwich.Makes for nice quilting and not to warm.

Smart way to go. Just be sure to wash/shrink the blanket before using.

I make almost all of my "utility" quilts with just fleece and no batting. My gang loves the way they feel and they are just the right weight.

WHY? I never even thought about washing my quilts before using them. The baby quilts get washed but everyone else uses theirs before it gets washed.

Yes, I do. In Alabama we enjoy a light weight "summer" quilt. I buy a fabric (can't remember the name) at Hancock Fabric that is 60" wide, has a bit of a fuzzy top, and the back of it is not like flannel but a little slippery, if that makes sense. Really nice to work with and doesn't seem to shrink at all.

I have used fleece for a backing & also flannel, no batting but then I stitch in the ditch to hold everything together, no ties.

Thanks a lot for that info! I was wondering that same thing.

I like this idea and have tons of scraps from the I Spys I'm currently working on. May have to put this on my "Future Try List" If you don't mind my stealing your idea. :lol:
They are so easy and use up a lot of scraps. Make in any size you want.

another question here, about fleece, if we make for child,infants etc, is there non flammable kinds to get? I know there are pj's and all, but fleece? I really haven't looked either.. thanks for an answer
