I will pass along all suggestions. Of course she is wanting to try birthing . This is going to be one warm quilt, I feel the LQS took advantage of her. They helped her choose pattern,fabric (fannel), batting (warm & natural) & minky backing. All for a baby quilt.LOL. She has enough fabric for 3 quilts, the other amounts are fine.

The baby quilts I have seen made with minky had simple straight lines going across the least stretchy direction. Really, minky is so pleasing on its own it doesn't need a lot of quilting. This is one time when less is more!
