    Piecing fleece backing

    When using fleece as a backing for a larger than lap size quilt, what size fabric (I going to use flannel) strip do you use to cover up the joining?
    FYI the top is corduroy.

    When I read the title for this I immediately thought of the fake snow in a narrow roll that looks like thin batting which I find works well for table runners, small wall hangings and such!

    I don't know about anyone else but I love fleece, flannel, velvet and minky - all of which shed lint like crazy! So I just have to deal with it.
