I recently finished two rag quilts with fleece on one side and flannel on the other. Currently I'm doing a cotton top and the back is flannel - this one is not a rag quilt. Everything is going ok so far.

I have made this type of a quilt many times. IMHO, I have found that it works best not to prewash any of the fabric so that the shrinkage of the cotton and fleece happens at once. I have family that lives in Alaska and they love these types of quilts!!

I made a quilt last week using Micro Velvet for the backing, the batting was 100% cotton, the front was 6.5" squares with sashing and the back was Micro Velvet. I SID with my 401A Singer, the 301A did not want to budge a stitch (almost like quilting though jello) but the 401A stitched right through all three layers.
