The softest was a minkee.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
The softest was a minkee.
I use Minky on the back of most of mine. I do two layers of flannel just a plain white or contrast color for the middle. Since Minky does not rag I trim it very thinly and let the two layers of flannel do the ragging. I much prefer its softness over just three layers of flannel and so have the people I have gifted them two but that's just our opinion.
I use two layers of flannel for my rag quilts and do not use anything in the middle. Of course it is here in Arizona and that seems to be enough to keep cosy.

Asking a seamstress to mend is like asking Picasso to paint your garage.
Can I ask: does the Minky wash and wear well? Curious because quilt will be washed a lot, and plush soft toys that we have seem not to wear very well...
I made both of my grand kids a rag quilt with flannel and Minky. I used two layers of flannel and one layer of Minky. I used a good quality of flannel and Minky. The quilt ragged nicely and the kids love their quilts. They have been washed many times and still look great. They love them for the warm and cuddly feel and drag them all over the house and even used them when we went camping.
