Depending on the colors of the quilt and the fleece, it can make a good warm batting( much warmer than cotton) . Do check to make sure the colors of the fleece don't show through the backing fabric or quilt top fabrics.

I use it a lot for kid quilts. It holds up really well and is extra soft and cushy. Once in a while, Joanns has the 15 yards bolts on sale for $20. I usually pick up one or two and keep it on hand. Then I can just through together some fabrics, make a top that is 58x 48, back it with the fleece and tie it. So in a couple of days, I can have a really nice useable quilt with my stash.

I use fleece for combination backing/batting on almost all my throws. So quick and easy! Awhile back I had a chance to get fleece at a really good price and bought bolts of it in navy, brown, black, burgundy, and forest green. Have also gotten the fleece throws at end of season clearance. Wish I could find a sale like that again. I'm getting close to running out.
