Default Minky tips please! How to contain the mess.

I just finished a quilt with minky as the backing and batting. I used a repurposed throw so the edges were all finished until the very end when I cut them to bind. The quilt is so super soft!!

I didn't have an issue with pinning and quilting but I know from a past experience how messy minky can be.

I've been asked to make another throw with a minky back. I have yardage of minky that I'd like to use. The selvedge ends will be finished so no mess there. I'm wondering if I should cut the minky much too large purposely, turn over the cut ends right away and enclose them in some scrap fabric. I think that would contain all the mess during the quilting at least.

Any other ideas?
