Default To bat or not to bat, that is the question.

What do you all recommend with a flannel pre-printed top that was given to me and a minky fabric backing? Would you use a layer of batting or not? I've already read enough to use my walking foot and/or darning foot and my silicone mat while quilting, also to use basting spray to stabilize. I plan to quilt around the lines of the design as well as do some meandering in the background areas. It will be a baby blanket for my daughter's first baby, coming in January. The top is very thin flannel, design is called Giggles and Wiggles by Thimbleberries. Haven't been a member long enough to attach a photo, but it shouldn't matter to get some opinions on batting. Have never sewn on minky, so any other advice will be welcome as well.
