Can I use this to back a quilt?
I'm doing a quilt as a Christmas gift for my god-daughter (11). I was originally planning for "normal" batting and backing, but now I came across this wonderful blanket for a bargain. Sorry, I have no idea what that kind of fabric is called, it is very soft and cuddly and looks the same on back and front (it's not fleece):

Do you think I could use this for batting and backing? (if not the blanket will go on my own bed! )

micro-fiber blanket - that could be what this is called! Yes, I was thinking of not using additional batting but just this. If that works, it will make that quilt very soft on the back! I've just never quilted anything like this. I guess straight line quilting is probably better than trying FMQ, or would that work?

I love these! I have a deep red one that I wanted to bleed and washed it with some white minky...it tinted the minky pink and I used that on another small quilt. Got brown ones and used them as backs on lap quilts for DS and DSIL. They were very inexpensive at Kroger's.

That's a good idea to try out on some scraps. Then I'll see if quilting it works or not.
I've never tied any quilt (is it still a "quilt" then? ).
I just think it would be so wonderfully soft and cuddly if I could use this blanket... But if not, at least I know she'll love the fabric I bought originally for the backing (she loves elephants!).
