You can always use a light interfacing that has glue on one side and put all your pieces on the interfacing the way you like it and then iron them down. You can then go over the edges with a zigzag stitch to keep the edges from fraying. It would be like a crazy/utility quilt.

I haven't done it but I'm considering...... There is a rotary blade that I use to perforate the fleece to crochet an edge on it. Have thought of doing this with the small pieces I have and then joining those--kinda like a granny square afghan. Has anyone tried doing this?

But, even though it is not flannel, you could still sew use a dab of washable Elmer's Glue to tack them on a backing piece of material and then once it is dried, you can just sew around them to permanently tack them down. So the irregular shapes can still be used and just have them butted up against each other or just slightly (ever so slightly) overlap. If you overlap the pieces too much you will have lumps, which wouldn't feel so great in the blanket or whatever you are making. The fleece shouldn't shred like flannel. Afterwards, I would definitely wash the project to get the glue out.
