Memory Quilts
While cotton is the traditional fabric for quilting,

A quilt is generally defined as 3 layers,
the quilt top which carries the design,
the wadding and the plain backing fabric.
A quilt which just has fleece backing and doesn't therefore require wadding is classed as a throw - any small quilt (less than a single bed-size)
can be backed with fleece.
