A dumb question about moulding...

It's me, again! I am so dumb when it comes to this kind of thing. Okay. Our mh has this really thin, cheap-looking stuff they call baseboard in the rooms that have vinyl floors. Not really sure what it is, but it's coming out. It's already removed from our bathroom project, and burned.
Hubby refused to go shopping with me for my materials - his excuse was that he knows nothing about this stuff and I suppose I do - so my mom went with me. I was trying to pick out something to use as a baseboard. He had told me to just get quarter round. I did. But, the original baseboard was about 2 inches tall, so they cut the wall strips accordingly. The quarter round I bought did not cover the gap left between the floor and where the strips begin. So...back to Lowe's, and this time I picked out something called mullion. I don't know why, I just liked the way it looked.
So now, a little late, I finally reading online about how to build up a baseboard profile. And I might do a little more detail in our hall and living room, so it will look prettier, but is there anything wrong with using the mullion, and placing the quarter round against it at the bottom, as a baseboard for this bathroom? I don't know what else I'd be able to use the mullion for, and I've already painted it white, and...I need to get thru with this project before Christmas!
Sorry this is so long. Any help is GREATLY appreciated!
