I think the fleece like one is poly-flannel. As others have stated, use it as a quilt back-when cut it tends to curl a little on the edges. The ducks are adorable but cut into larger squares would still keep the look.

The duck fabric, I just purchased a month or two ago.

The guest speaker at Bluebonnet Quilt Guild last night was Minay Sirois, http://www.minay.sirois.com/ she does large all over prints into really cool quilts. Your ducks would work very well. Check out her site, she shows lots and lots of her quilts for ideas. Some patterns are also available. Made me want to go thru the stash for large prints for my next project.

Recently I saw a quilt using this pattern & the square was fish, I'm sure your duckies would look fantastic in it too. Scroll down to find the BQ pattern.
