Great! That's what I was worried about. I wondered if it would hold it's shape. It's great to have access to all this info.
I appreciate your reply.

I made a baby quilt several years ago and used fleece as batting/backing. The result was a very cosy but light weight quilt. It's now used by the third baby in that family and has been washed lots. It still looks great.

Thanks Betty Jo
That makes me more comfortable.

Nancy (Sewing with Nancy) uses fleece for batting for quilted clothing and bags. I think it would work nicely.

Thanks to both of you. I am going to try it and see. I think you are right BettyD about using it for backing but not this time. We were making carrots and green beans for the K-garten play and it is lime green and bright orange. I'll try it when I have a pretty piece.

I have used fleece a number of times for the backing on quilts. When I use fleece, I don't use any batting as they are just the right weight that way. I have found that when using fleece, it is best to spray baste. When I tried pinning one time I had a lot of slippage and ended up taking out my stitching and redid it with spray basting. Betty D

I've never used it, but several of the folks in the long-arm group I belong to use it for backings and sometimes just use 2 layers for snuggle quilts!
I say go for it!

Margo,

Your advice is appreciated by all.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family now.
I have a question about batting. My quilts are ment to be loved and used, so they will be washed and dried regularly. Would fleece work for batting? I have some left over from a school play project and I am considering it for a small quilt.
