Polar fleece as one layer instead of batting and backing, yes!! Use it for creations going to cold country. Use flannel as batting and backing for baby blankies staying in warm country. I do use batting sometimes. Just depends on the project and recipient.

I was wondering the same as some others. I guess everyone is talking about the kind that stretches? The printed kind? Are there not 2 kinds of fleece? The printed one and the kind I use in purses? Some of those are fusible. I see those on a bolt with the interfacing.

I'm glad the question about using Elmer's glue was answered. I've basted the last few quilts I've done this way and I love it, but never tried it with fleece. I've got some that I'm going to use as backing, so I'm going to give the glue a try on it.

I made a simple small "ship" pattern a while back and used fleece as the backing. I was going to give it away but fell in love with it. And it matches my sofa very well. Love to lay the fleece side on my legs while watching TV!
