Fleece blankets for backing
 
I have made several quilts and used these blankets as backing The quilter says as long as they aren’t super fluffy she will do them. The grandkids love the soft feel. Can you recommend a brand or something on amazon that works well for you? Thanks

I did buy a quality no-pill polar fleece at JoAnn's that worked very well. I wrapped it to the front instead of making a binding and was completely pleased. I used a serpentine stitch for quilting.

I've found a few at a good price at places like Ross and TJMaxx. The cost of the blanket was cheaper than buying yardage for backing would have been!

I used Minky from JoAnn for the backing for my granddaughter's drag aroung quilt. I brought it around to the front and mitered the corners. It looked like it would ripple when I sewed down the edge so I glued it with Elmers. When dry, I stitched it with a serpentine stitch. Jenny Doan an a nice video on this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOZqOuBPIqs
