another chemo quilt question
I love this board, you guys always have great information
I have a piece of minky that is big enough for the backing.
Is minky ok to use for backing on a chemo quilt?

I used w&n as batting with minkie for a chemo quilt. It was so heavy!! I think if using batting with the minkie again I would find something light. Mine turned out nice but way too heavy. I used the minkie from JAF that goes by another name. Am wondering if it is heavier, will have to try the real thing some day.

I used Hobbs 80/20 with Minkie on a king sized quilt for our DD and I bet it weighs 50# Personally I like the Minkie without batting, which makes it cuddly and soft draping. If you want more warmth, I would use a very THIN poly batting so as not to increase the weight.
