If you are thinking about doing something with fleece, you should use a serger.
I purchased some fleece at Joanne, but it was only about half as thick as my bags of scraps.
Be flexible! This stuff is really difficult to work with on a regular sewing machine. If you just want something colorful and warm [as these lap quilts] AND do not have to have perfection [these quilts have lots of imperfections], then go for it. Of course I still do not know how the recipients will like these. That will come some time later. Really rather stressful for me since they have been a LOT of work. I have one more in process. But then I'll do something more usual.
I would really appreciate feedback on both the quilts and the puzzle cuts.
Hope you enjoy, ann

Loved the fleecies and the puzzles, the colours are great and I would be delighted to receive one. Keep going, you are doing just fine in my opinion. Regards, Leslie
You are doing just fine in my opinion, Ann. Your colors are great and the designs are a place for the imagination to begin.
I found that a layer of paper above and below the fleece helps it to flow freely through the domestic sewing machine.
None of the fleece tangles in the presser foot or the feeddogs if you use paper to protect the project.
Just guide the paper through with the fabrics and peel it away when
the stitching is finished.
Thanks Diana,
I'm planning on putting fleece on the back of my next charity quilt. I'll try your paper method.
