I know, but we are all in the same boat, and have made the same mistake...so do't give it a 2nd thought (your errors I mean). I also have a love/hate relationship with auto-correct. Very embarrassing vocabulary comes out of that software. Someday, a software revision may come along to address this, until then, just relax....we know what you mean,,,,hugs all around the QB....

[ATTACH=CONFIG]559305[/ATTACH]This is the quilt l made for my granddaughter while on the frame. lt is 80 x90, has minkie backing, and thin polyester batting. lt turned out so soft and beautiful...she loves it. l just had to be careful not to stretch the backing.

I use fleece a lot with lap quilts. It makes a very nice quilt.

I'd like to add that l've also done 2 quilts without the batting...but l found them a bit limp, and the seams pushed my quilting foot around while quilting.

I have used it on many quilts. One nice thing, if you are using it for a lap quilt it doesn't slide off the lap like cotton-backed will. Makes a very cuddly quilt just like flannel does, maybe more so.

I have used fleece but also used a low-loft batting, just to make it more stable. Like it better than without batting. Just a personal preference.

I have used fleece for batting and backing on my baby quilts for my grand children. Tiny babies. their moms have told me that the little ones actually seem to like the fuzzy backs of the quilts more than the cotton fronts. Makes me wonder why I put so much effort into the fronts! but as long as the babies like them, that's the most important part to me

Just a thought also on flannel. I recently made a winter quilt with the top being pieced flannel, batting in the middle and flannel on the back. In my opinion it got too heavy, so won't do that again. It is very warm for snuggling up here in Minnesota when it is 20 degrees below zero outside with a windchill of about 35 degrees below zero. It would be a good quilt to have in the car as part of my winter survival kit.

My very first time to use it was on a full bed size, no batting. I was so afraid of it stretching and it did none of that at all. It was probably the easiest quilt I have made, no struggles at all. I even "motif" quilted each block and it looked better on the back than the front. I can't say enough good things and p.s., this was Walmart brand med. weight fleece.
