Quick quilt need help quilting?
I have not quilted in years and have to finish 3 kids quilts for Easter. Can someone suggest the quickest quilting for this on a fleece backing. I do not free motion well at all. Thanks for any suggestions. Diane

My question would be "What kind of batting do you have?" That would determine the amount of quilting that would be needed. I use Warm and Natural and I can quilt as far as 10 inches (usually stick to 5-6 inches). Hope this helps.

I have made a few jelly roll race quilts with fleece backing. I used spray adhesive to put the quilt and the fleece together. It is true that you won't have to do a lot of quilting as there is no batting and no restrictions. You just want to keep the fleece from shifting. All suggestions are good. I believe having fleece on the back helps speed up the process. Also, if you "google" 5-minute and 10-minute blocks, you will find something that is quick and easy to make and the blocks are as large as you want them and will not need a lot of quilting. Good luck.
