Bless your heart, you got a job ahead of you.

Let us know how hand quilting fleece works out, it is one fabric I personally would not even try! Yikes! And good luck!

I don't know if you're supposed to be using batting and fleece. The only time I have read about fleece being used as backing is without the batting.

I would not use a batting with fleece--know one person who did that--doing the 6-hr quilt of Kay Wood and boy did she regret it--she was given lots of advice not to do it but she did it anyway----good luck
