The fleece substituted for the batting. Front and back of quilt is 100% cotton. My daughter wanted a warm quilt for her and I figured I would try it on her quilt. I was going to use the fleece as a backing but the fleece was a baby blue color and I didn't like the color so I went with a full cotton backing. All I know is that when I was quilting it, it was heavy. My arms were tired of moving it around.!

The fabric with the flower faces is called Sunday Bloomers. If you do a search for : The Best Sunday Bloomers you should be able to find the fabric. I coordinated the rest of the fabric around the flowers and I was very please. If I knew I could get more of the flowers I would have bought more. I guess I went brain dead for a moment.
