Default ? Duvet cover

I have a queen sized quilt top that I want to give to my son for his wedding. He likes it but doesn't want to give up his down comforter. We decided that I would make the top into a cover for the comforter. Seemed easy in my mind-just pillowcase top with something soft (his words) for the back. The more I thought about it, I need to attach the top to something to cover the seams. I've decided to attach it to a queen sized sheet and then back it with a fleece blanket.
Now my questions 1) when I sew the top to the sheet should I pillowcase that or sew it flat with raw edges exposed. 2(When I sew the top/sheet to the back should that be pillowcased since the fleece wouldn't ravel? I plan to put buttons and buttonholes at the bottom edge.
Hope this makes some kind of sense. I have till October to get it done.
Thanks.
