That is so cute and I love the colors. Is the minky had to work with and did you use batting as well?

Minky always feels like it's going to be a challenge but it isn't at all. I use a thin batting - on this I used bamboo, but on others I've used an old flannel sheet. I wouldn't try free motion quilting on it, but with a walking foot it doesn't stretch at all.

This is my third Minky backed quilt and I am beginning to suspect I'm addicted to it. No, really, I can stop any time I want!

I really want to try Minky some day.

That is adoreable. I love Minky but haven't tried it yets. Have used fleece which is soft but not as nice as Minky. Is this a gift? Love the added puppy. TFS Jayne

I like those colors...I've always been a fan of the blue/green combo. And the little doggy is adorable.
Thanks for sharing.

Yes, it's a gift. A good friend of my husband's just had his first baby. I'm not real close to the family so I admit I hadn't keep track of the due date. Two weeks ago DH said "Were you going to make a baby quilt for J's little one? It's due next week." Yikes! Of course, it doesn't take long to make a baby quilt and this simple pattern went together quickly. We'll be visiting one evening this week to see the baby and deliver the quilt.

I want minky pajamas.

Rebecca, I made a minky nightshirt and I love it! I took my favorite, comfy nightshirt and just laid it out on the minky to cut out the pattern. It's got cap sleeves and I would recommend you not make something with much of a sleeve - stick to sleeveless or cap sleeves - because the fabric is warm. Probably not the right thing for the hot flash crowd! LOL But very cozy, soft and snuggly.

Cute quilt, Kate. (try saying that 5 times) Really like the colors.

What a darling quilt. And I love the colors as well. You have inspired me to try a minky quilt; I've wanted to do one but I've heard its really hard to work with. Thanks so much for sharing.

Just use a walking foot and you shouldn't have any problems with it, at least not on a smallish quilt. The other one I made was 4'x6' and even that worked without bunching or stretching. I thought I was making that one for me, but it turns out I was making it for the cats. I can't keep them off of it. Cats and babies like minky as much as I do.

Really cute and I love the idea of the matching puppy!!! I love th4 look and feel of minky but I haven't tried it yet.
