I groaned inwardly when my cousin showed up with luscious gray minky for the back of the t-shirt quilt I was making for her graduating senior.
I decided not to use batting because I didn't want it to be heavy, and it worked great. I stitched in the ditch around shirt squares.
Tip: I stitched on top of newspaper like I do when I applique.
The minky was about 54-60 inches wide and she bought too much, which prompted me to fold it to the front like a cozy frame. Loved it. Will use it again. Have no complaints.
