Minkee

Post by institcheswithrosie » Sun May 17, 2009 11:18 am

If I use Minkee on the back of a baby quilt, should I still use batting? They live in Maryland, so it gets cold but not frigid for expensive periods.

I've done two quilts so far in Minkee. First was a double size for my teenager. I used flannel instead of batting and he loves it. I made a lap size and used warm and natural for the batting and I thought it was too thick.

I also have a lap size log cabin that I made and used fleece for the back and no batting and I really like it.

I would recommend a very thin batting if any. You want the little quilt to be flexible.
