Using Minky for Cuddle Blanket

I've never used Minky before but bought some when I saw a good sale. I'm wondering how well it would work for making a cuddle blanket with sleeves. I bought one from Bro okstone for a friend as part of a comfort basket after she lost her husband to cancer and ended up with one for myself because they had a 2-for-1 sale. I absolutely love it for reading in bed when I can't sleep at night. I found a pattern on-line for one and would like to make one for my sister. Purchased one is made of doublesided furry, fleecy fabric (=extremely soft and cuddly). Minky is only one-sided so to make the cuddle blanket--ah, cuddly, I would need line it with minky. Do you think two layers of minky it would be too warm? I think I'd want to tack the layers together in the body so it doesn't flop apart (and make it reversible). I suppose some level of quilting or just tacking or tying the two pieces together would be the way to go. Any opinions/suggests for this would be greatly appreciated.
