HELP-Birthing question fast!

Ok, I almost have the first one finished, but since I have never done this "birthing" thing before, I'm not sure what to do. I have sewn around the edge, left an opening, pull back through but how do I close up that hole I left to turn it right side out again and make the closure look neat? This is thick, fluffy fleece (my daughter donated her pooh/tigger quilt she was making, it already had fusible batting on one side and I used a piece of pooh/tigger cotton to back it) so how do I turn the edge of the fleece under to close this hole? You can't exactly turn it, iron it and expect it to stay neat?

HELP, WHAT DO I DO?

Since these don't have to be lovely and speed is important, I'm just gonna tuck the raw edges inside and machine stitch the opening closed from on top. (Arthtirtis dictates very little hand sewing for me.) Another quick method is to turn the raw edges in and cut a narrow strip of heavy dute Wonder Under and press it inside the seam. It "glues" the fabric together for the closure!
