I have made baby quilts with Minky because I LOVE how they feel. I would suggest spray basting too. I use satin binding to add even more "yum" to the baby quilts. I use a silicon piece on my machine to help the minky move along as I quilt when I do free-motion quilting. I stitch in the ditch first with my walking foot, then do fancies later. My first one I did without the silicon slider was a real bear.
