As an aside we make tied quilts, pillowcase style generally but could construct some differently.
I did this and even though I used my walking foot I had a problem with the fleece stretching and causing tucks on the back. I have handled this problem by fusing the very lightest fusible interfacing to the fleece before quilting fleece and flannel together. If your quilts are just tied you will probably eliminate the stretching problem. Be sure to pre-shrink your flannel well because the fleece will not shrink.
