Hi Caryn,

The fabric for the top and borders is regular 100% cotton quilt fabric. I think two layers of fleece would be a bit too thick and stretchy to make for enjoyable sewing. The woven cotton fabric gives some stability to the stretchy fleece. I also like cotton quilt fabric for my quilt tops because the colors and prints are so wonderful. There’s much more variety than I have found in fleece. So I only use fleece for backings.

Loved the tutorial! What a great and new way (to me anyway) way to finish a quilt. One question. Was the fabric you used in your squares and the border top cotton fabric or were they also fleece?

Thanks
