I love everything about this quilt: the fabric, label, pattern, the quilting...! I have a question - did you use batting? I've made a few baby quilts with Minkee backing and have left out the batting. Also, did your Long Arm Quilter complain about the stretchiness of the Minkee backing? I've quilted my own, instead of sending them out...so, I've only complained to myself ; )
