I have often wondered what experienced quilters meant when they say using fleece either as batting or backing.
Now I know, thanks to your article which is very enlightening especially for learner
quilters like me. Here in Australia, we do have them as polar fleece but not sure what the weight would be.
In the future I will try to make a quilt using polar fleece as backing.
Thanks again. Cheers

Thanks for the thrifty suggestion, Caroline. I used to look for fleece blankets in good condition at our local thrift store, which sadly has closed down for good because of the pandemic. I have also bought blankets on sale at big box stores. As you point out, blankets are often a better deal than fleece yardage.
