I have done a couple of fleece backed flannel quilts for my youngest kids. I never used the minky, but love the way it snuggles. Go for it! I would say that if you are using minky, don't use a batt. And you might want to make it a self bound quilt. I have never done that either. Aren't I a big help? LOL! It's just that I have heard minky really fuzzes all over. And I was thinking you might want to contain that. Anyone else want to jump in here and save the day since I am no help?
