I recently made a minkee quilt for my daughter. I just used 2 yards of minkee and pieced flanned for the back. I just made it like a pillow case and slip stitched it closed. She just wanted a soft napping blanket. She didn't want any quilting or ties.
Now, I am going to make another one, but wanted to do both sides in different minkee fabrics, with no batting. One side solid and the other one of the patterned minkees. If I just sew it wrong sides together, turn and slip stitch closed, should I tie randomly around the quilt? I figured if I laid it flat on the floor and just tied it carefully it may not slip while I was tying it. Or should I try to machine tie it? I have this vision in my head that this is a bad idea and it will end up a mess and slipping all over as I try to tie.
It will just be a cuddle blanket for trips on the sports bus.....
If anyone has ever just used minkee and no other fabric, I would love some advice....
Thanks so much...
