Fleece has a lot more stretch then cotton. You say that your cotton is thicker ~ is it a 'quilting' cotton or something heavier like poplin or broadcloth? Are you piecing the cotton side? Or are you just wanting to 'sandwich' the two fabrics together? IMHO (In My Humble Opinion), I would put 'like' fabrics together, because of the stretch factor.
