I love minkee. It makes for a very soft and cuddly quilt. The trick is to spray baste. 505 is the best. And you don't want to do close, fancy quilting on it like you would a wall hanging. I have found that using batting and minkee together makes a heavy, too warm quilt. I personally like using flannel instead of batting when using minkee for backing. And if I know a quilt is going to be tossed around alot and dragged on the floor, I will use a sturdy fleece for the backing.
It is messy when cutting it. That's when a vacuum comes in handy. And I always wash minkee before using it. Especially the last minkee I bought. The bolt had been sitting on the floor of the fabric store.
