I have used it twice and the first time I very good luck and liked the outcome. The second time I used a Minkee with a longer pile and although it is extremely cuddly I did not like the way pile looked like it was "caught" in the quilting. Minkee is a little stretchy so be careful not to stretch it in the quilting process. My cotton is all washed prior to piecing so the cotton shrinkage should be minimal.
