This suggestion may wake the quilt police but what the heck---------here goes---------------
Since fleece does not fray, you can lay about 1/2 to 3/4 inch edge of one piece over the edge of the piece you're attaching it to. Right sides up. Then loosely zigzag the edge showing. Turn the piece over and zigzag the other raw edge. I did that for a fleece blanket and you almost have to look for the seam. I've done that more than once since the blanket. Since it's only two thicknessed rather than 3, there's almost no lump.
