I agree with all the comments so far -- this has been first time I used fleece as a backing and am so pleased -- the quilts are so soft and cozy -- my only concern is that fleece loses that softness with washing, but these are gifts, so....

Well, this answered one of my questions about using fleece for backing. My grandson wants a quilt with fleece backing, but he also wants the batting. I have an idea that using the batting with the fleece might make it too difficult to quilt, but he wants it to be heavy.

Joann's is having a big sale on their fleece - by the yard or the entire bolt. Just bought some cream colored today. I have used it on laps, kids tagalong quilts and on wall hangings. Machine quilts well with a walking foot. Also not difficult to hand quilt with either. It's a real time and money saver for certain projects.
