I wouldn't use minkee in a rag quilt. That stuff sheds like there's no tomorrow!! A friend does baby quilts with minkee and we all sew together on a regular basis. By the time she would get a top cut and sewn there would be minkee fluff every where!! I don't know if she put batting in the quilts but she mixed the minkee with flannel, chenille and cotton and then backed with either flannel or minkee. She used the cotton squares to embroider name and birthdate.
