Default A quilting (piecing) + embroidery question re: to Pink Ribbon

Hi All .... fairly new here. Have a lot to learn.

I am a breast cancer survivor.
Any fellow survivor - thrivers here?

A couple of yrs. ago I bought a gob of pink flannels, including some breast cancer prints to make a soft lap quilt for each of my girls. Am thinking it's about high time I get around to putting it together.

I could do a rag quilt, but I'd like it to be nicer than that.
I bought some white flannel also and would like to embroider some breast cancer type designs to incorporate into the quilt.

How does flannel do for piecing? Like pinwheels and such. Or should I stick to plain squares?
Can I "piece" and still do a rag finish type quilt?

Anyone have any ideas?
I'm trying to collect ideas before jumping into this project.

Do you know a good source for breast cancer type embroidery designs?
I'm still "learning" the embroidery technique.

Thanks for your help!
