Fleece makes a wonderful soft snuggly backing especially for children's quilts. Machine quilting on fleece creates a fabulous texture. It's economical too, as it does two jobs, backing and wadding, for the price of one. It's important to get the good quality non-pil polar fleece because the cheap stuff ages badly. But sometimes it is hard to find good quality fleece at the right price. Last month, I stumbled on a great UK site: http://www.fabric-online.co.uk/ They have a great selection of colours and patterns. I ordered one day, they processed the order the next and I received the fleece in the post the day after that. I call that quick efficient service. The quality of fleece was fantastic too.
So if you've been wanting to use fleece but having trouble finding it here in the UK. give fabric-online a try. I've put a link on the side to make it easy.
