Oh wow - that's awesome! I love the "curves" in it. I spotted that Minkee right off! That is one cozy quilt! Nice work!

Beautiful quilt Linda!
GP, you are one lucky lady!
Loretta, I've done two quilts so far with Minkee and I've found that the 505 spray adhesive will keep the Minkee from stretching while quilting.
I lay it out flat, lightly spray, spread the batting (or flannel instead of batting), light spray again, then spread the pieced top on top and make sure it's smooth. I used the curved safety pins, but not as many as you would normally. It didn't bunch or stretch at all. You might want to make a small practice sample to see how it does.
