I love minky! I have made baby blankets and I used it on the back of a throw for my son with a thin batting. It def is very warm and cuddly. I think it is great in the winter (I live in iIllinois) but i think would be too warm in the summer. (A tip I learned, which worked for me, is to use a washable glue stick instead of pins. The minky won't move with the glue.)
