Default mixing fabric types

I have this pattern for a carry around blanket - it's small and has no batting.

You make the 3D bowties and use them to hold little toys that come on rings. I think it's the cutest!

I'd like to make the ties from satin, but don't have enough satin for the rest of the top.

What do you think about:
Minky on the back
satin for the bowties
cotton for everything else.

I do have enough satin to make the larger block and just the top of the tie - cotton would be the tie bottom and the rest of the block.

I may make a trial version and wash the dickens out of it and just see what happens. That would use up my little stash of satin, but at least I'd know.
Okay quilters - help!
