While some think fleece is too expensive to use as batting, remember that because it's encased between the top and the backing, you can use the cheapest stuff available. (I have a "Mill End Textiles" near me where I bought a remnant at ~$3/yd.)
Do you use batting and fleece together to make the quilt warm or do you just use fleece? I would like to make myself an ultra-warm quilt.
I long arm for others and had a lady request to use fleece for the backing, I said OK I would try it. She also wanted batting in the quilt. I thought it was exceptionally heavy with the batting but it quilted up beautifully and the customer was very pleased with the turnout. I am thinking of using just as a backing for a baby quilt I am just finishing up.
