That is not a product that I'm familiar with, but if you like the way it behaves in your table runners, it might work for a quilt, however, it's not intended for quilting.

A google search came up with this info about the Pellon product: "Description: Pellon Fleece is great for all kinds of crafts and home decor. Thermolam Plus Polyester 45"x 20yd White- Heavily needled 100% polyester sew in fleece. Good for home decorations, craft projects and interlining coats"

What you have may be thinner that the "Plus" version, and might work.

BadGoodDeb OFFLINE Posts: 3	I've used Pellon Thermolam in a few table runners, and I'm now working on my first bed sized quilt. Since I liked Thermolam before, I just bought a bolt of it, intending to put it in this quilt. Is this a bad choice?
