If you bought the fluffy stuff from Joanns it is probably called some kind of micro fabric and it is softer than minkey. One consideration with using it without finishing the edges is the amount of fuzz that would be safe for a baby to inhale. I worked with that some at Christmas time and was amazed at how much it shed. Wouldn't want the baby having it close to the face for that reason. Maybe use the flannel for the quilt (it raggs great) and make a wrap or something that you can bind or finish the edges with the fluffy stuff.
