What a nice 3D effect! I love this quilt and you've done such a nice job with the design of it too. I think the fleece backing would depend on how you're going to use it. If you are going to use it for a super warm cover I would use fleece but if not I would use something ese. Depends on your climate. The temperatures are too mild for a fleece backing where I live on the coast of NC.

I think I'll go for fleece on the back. Because in the Netherlands it can be very cold when it is wintertime...and I really don't like that cold climate.
When spring come I am always very very happy. :D
Yes I will do the quilting by hand. I will tell you a secret...I find it very difficult to do the quilting on the machine..even with a walking foot I get plies and rinkles allover.. :cry:
And thanks you all for the nice compliment...it makes me smiling and also a little red.. :D

Your quilt is beautiful. As to the fleece? Why not go ahead and use it Yo will have to use a larger needle if by machine. but a good fleece is pretty easy to work with and oh so warm and comfy. By hand, maybe a longer needle and a possibly a cotton/poly thread.
Good luck and please show us pics of finished product.
