It was a kit from Shannon Fabrics (and they sure don't give you any extra material!) And yes, the entire thing is minky except for the batting. You do all the cutting, etc...they just give you the material - and I was measuring and remeasuring because I knew there was absolutely NO room for errors in cutting. Directions say to use fusible applique, but I ended up using spray basting, as the fusible stuff didn't want to stick to other minky.
