Backing for T-shirt quilt . . . your opinions please.
My t-shirt quilt is just about finished, so it's time to buy the backing. I'm thinking of using fleece. I think I almost have to use a solid color because it might turn out too busy. Your thoughts?
1. How does fleece work out for a backing?
2. What is suggested to use for the binding?
3. Should I go with a print, or stick with a solid?
Thanks,
~Sea~

I made several tshirt/jean quilts and I loved using fleece backing. I used prints I will try to attach pictures. The only thing I would say is the one print I used had some white. Since I didn't use batting I could see the quilt front barely showing through the white on the backing. Not enough that it made me want to change my plan and add batting, but I just wanted to let you know that in case you were thinking about prints
