someone was reading my mind! I was wondering about using fleece with cotton, flannel with fleece, etc.
But how about 3 layers of flannel ? Front is breast cancer ribbon ,the batting is light pink and the backing dark pink..will this work? Wondering about the uneveness or wrinkling happening?

I had a problem when I used a military fleece panel without batting, when FMQing my stitches would turn yellow..took me awhile to realize that it happened when I stitched over the yellow parts of the panel...odd! Other than that it was so easy to work with and stitch.

Thank you all so much!!
I decided to not use batting in the middle (it's just a lap quilt for my grandma) so it didn't need to be super warm. And I was wondering about the binding today to so thanks again! I think I might just go with cotton..since I have extra fabric. And I might do stitch in the ditch and FM quilting...so we'll see how it turns out! But I change my mind all the time...and I don't want it to loose the softness with too much quilting.
And I'm new to spray basting...but I decided to try that and I love it!!

I have used fleece without batting to back a pieced quilt top. Even though I used my walking foot the fleece stretched and I had tucks on the fleece back. I have had greater sucess fusing the thinnest fusable interfacing to the wrong side of the fleece before pinning and quilting. I would also recommend this process when using "minky"
