I use fleece for backing a lot of quick quilts and those that will be overused and washed a million times because it doesn't need a lot of quilting! I make the top, put the top and fleece back together (no batting needed) and then sew a few lines both vertically and horizontally. DONE!!!! and yes, it holds up fine. I have one that I use and wash constantly that has to be at least 12 years old and the only problem it has is that the edges are starting to look a little worn in spots....
