Has anyone used fleece for the back of their quilts? I would like to make a small "Steelers" football quilt for my son and would like to use fleece for the back. What do you all think?

I have!! My son loved his quilt that I made with fleece on the back!!

My absolutely favorite snuggle quilt has fleece for the backing. I often finish children's quilts with fleece. Works great and is so warm.
|
I have heard a lot of people here have done that. It seems to work well and is soft and cozy.

I did two lap sized that I had quilted by a LAQ.
She had to quilt around circles that I'd appliqued. Said it was a nightmare - very stretchy. I did one myself, quilting by hand and had no trouble. |

Would be great for guy's football quilt. |
I recently did a baby quilt with a fleece batting and flannel backing. It was a Moda Panel and it felt amazing when I finished it up. I did quilt it on my home sewing machine and it wasn't too bad.

I've used fleece as a backing alos and loved it. Two suggestions:
1. Pre-wash your fabrics as they will shrink when washed but the fleece won't; 2. Don't add batting in the sandwich -- the fleece and top are enough. Good luck! |
Fleece is great on the back of a quilt. Minkee is even better! Soooo soft and stays that way, unlike fleece!!
