Interesting concept but not sure how it would work. I am not a good one to think outside the box since I have been quilting so long and stick with the old fashion ways of quilting. Our church group received strips of flannel and I suggested to sew the strips and successful made cute rag quilts. Take some scraps and try. You can always donate the quilt (if not successful) to an animal rescue group because dogs are not quilt critics !!
