I love minkee. I stitch in the ditch. I pinned like crazy and i used batting. They are toasty and ready for my grandsons. I will post pictures of the I spy quilts backed in minkee as soon as I finish the binding and wash them. Minkee has one way that is really stretch and the other way does not stretch. Just plan for it. I had just enough minkee for the quilt so I made sure the stretchy direction was the direction I was a bit shy on extra. It worked.
