Golly! Thank you all very much! I went with a flannel design that is quite different from the front. I think the backing is sweet enough to be given a turn at being the upside too!
It's my own ideas rather than based on a pattern though I look through loads of pics of stuff before I decide. It's just one of these things that you know ( or hope you know!) when you've plumped for the right thing. I swapped the coloured bands around the strips to pull the bands together and tried to keep the bulk of the top 'soft' to compliment the strong primary colours.
Have attached a pic of the quilt ready for quilting which is now underway.[ATTACH=CONFIG]433256[/ATTACH]

That is one adorable quilt. Lucky is the child who gets it!
Fleece is warm enough and I have used it as the batting, but not usually as the backing. I like the idea of making the quilt double sided, too.
Decisions, decisions!
