The thing is, that the wrong side of the fabric is perfect for what I need. Would using an entire layer cake “wrong side” effect the quality of the quilt?

I do it all the time. Nobody knows the difference.

It's your quilt. You can do whatever you want. Sometimes reversing the fabric gives an interesting contrast with the "right" side.

I've used the wrong side with no problem.

I have actually used both sides sometimes in the same piece so that it looks like I have two different fabrics - then I really did get two for the price of one!
