I was in a hurry to have a finished quilt for a class. I made the quilt top but no way had time to quilt it. I put a five inch border on the quilt, backed it with fleece and cut and tied it all around the edges like a fleece quilt. The ties had to be doubled tied since it was cotton and fleece tied together. Everyone loved the look and the beginners were excited they could do a quilt top and not have to worry about getting it quilted. I didn't do anything to hold the top to the fleece back except tie the edges. It's been washed many times and has never separated.

I wish we had a "like" button! Has anyone used the "cuddle fleece"? Do I have to pre-wash it? I suppose I should though...I just don't want to un-fluff it...maybe I could toss a sample of it in the wash and see what happens to it. I want to do it on the long-arm, but I've never done anything so fluffy and don't want to get it matted down. Any suggestions on that?

I may try fleece on 2 tops I made for a grand-neice and -nephew. They will probably like the pattern on the fleece better than the pieced top, lol.
I have to add for Tashana, that every question I've had recently where I've searched, there You are asking the same question. Our great minds must think alike, haha. :-)

I just finished my first one three days ago. It was my friend's top and she wanted batting + the fleece. I put it on the frame and looked at it for a week, afraid to begin. Finally started. I needed to move my foot up a bit but other than that, no issues. I made sure I didn't have too much tension on the backing from the rails or side clamps.
