I got a lot of help and advice on my fleece back as I had never done one before....thanks ALL....I thought I would share a couple of photos with you of my quilt.

Sorry the pictures aren't the greatest, but the back turned out GREAT, thanks to all of your help and advice.

I truly appreciated it all...and I will quilt more with fleece now that I found out just how easy it was.

Thanks again, hope you enjoy the pictures.

1st Picture is the top...not to of a clear picture but you get the just.

2nd picture and 3rd pictures are of the quilting and the fleece back.

Enjoy!

Very nice. You did a good job. Love the colors.

Very pretty! I love fleece too!

Very nice. You did a good job. Love the colors.

Very pretty colors, and very nice job!!
Welcome to the board from Texas!

Thanks, I enjoyed making this one so much! I am so happy with the results.

The colors are so retro!!! Had I had it done the day before yesterday, I could have entered it in the fair.

Maybe next year...LOL.

Very pretty. I love to quilt with fleece.

Very, very pretty. Love the soft colors.

I have a lot of fleece that I rescued from a train wreck, long story. I should use it for quilt backs because I am not using it for anything else!

Your quilt is beautiful, btw!

:thumbup:

lovely quilt!

Beautiful. I'll have to try a fleece back soon. Thanks for sharing.

Love it...I have a question, did you use any batting, or just top and fleece?

Great job! I love fleece - it's so warm and snuggly. :lol: :lol:

Yes, I used batting, and I love the outcome of it. I tried a sample quilt first and it worked great. My friend that I am sending this to is in a nursing home and the AC is on all the time and she is cold...so this made it heavier and it turned out great. I used the longarma and an all over pattern to quilt it.

Nice quilt

Thanks, great idea.

What a wonderful idea to put fleece on the back of a quilt! How cuddly it will be! Nice job!

That looks great. I would like to try a quilt using the fleece as backing. Did you use batting in the middle or just add the top right to the fleece?

I love the graphic nature of the quilt top. Fleece is so cuddly as a backing

I love this one! Isn't using fleece for the back great?

Love it!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

very pretty

Your friend sure will be warm and cozy now! I love the pattern and fabrics you selected. I never thought about using fleece for backing but it surely will provide great warmth and your quilting is very impressive. Thanks for sharing!

If you ever want to make a warm comforter (I'm always cold so made one for myself) make your top, then use a high loft batting and use fleece on the back. I don't suggest quilting but tying instead, it keeps it poofy. and for a true comforter like look, use the birthing/pillowcase/envelope method. If you don't know how to do that, I put a tut up. But it looks great and will definitely be warm!

I love these colors and I bet napping under that is going to be a dream..wow.. love it!

I absolutely love fleece & minky backings!

fleece back does that mean no batting ? Economics going through my head right now as to which would be least expensive especially if we're giving them away or for children. Hummmm

Nice

Beautiful quilt!

This is pretty and I bet it is super soft and warm too. Love the fleece on the back!!!

That looks like it's ready to be cuddled with

My son hugged it before I packed it up and mailed it to my friend. I told her about that and she started crying and told me that she would hug the quilt every night so she could get a hug from Garrett (she considers him her grandson).

She cuddles with it all day and all night long....she loves it.
