Default blocks from fleece for quilt

Suggestion for fleece quilts - cut the blocks with a wavy rotary blade. It
makes for a really cute blanket with the wavy edges instead of having blunt
cut straight edges. We make a lot of them that way for our Linus chapter.

I made one. From scraps. Just leftovers I somehow came upon from a
factory that made robes, I think. No special technique, just squares
stitched together - no backing, no batting, no binding. No pictures
either. Not a chance that I could get it away from the great-grandchildren
and grand dogs. It leads a hard life and is much loved. Ummm. . . it seems
like I backstitched at the beginning and ending of every stitching so it
would be sturdy. It is. Just go for it, k. Polly

Can anyone tell me if they were successful in cutting squares of all
different fleece fabrics to make a quilt top? I was thinking I could
make some squares 10" and then smaller ones to make a 4-patch and
alternate them. I have been saving fleece for this for ages, but now
that I'm ready to do one...I'm not sure how to proceed. Serging or
sewing? If sewing...what thread, what stitch length, what seam
width? Any suggestions would be wonderful. Also, if anyone has a
photo of one they have done, I would love to see it! TYIA!
