Hi! I've made a few baby blankets using minkee and satin. One thing I did't know if you've thought of this or not but minkee as backing fabric would make heavy quilt and minkee doesn't take topstitching or stippling very well. The stitching just gets buried in the nap of the fabric. I had to hand tie my blankets so the minkee and satin wouldn't seperate. Just one person's experience! Chris
