That sounds so sad after you sewed the top and probably quilted it yourself. I, too, would de-lint it and put a note in the present telling the girl about it linting so much. Or, as someone else said, put a different back over it and tack it on. That sounds like it wouldn't look as nice, but I sure wouldn't want to have to un-quilt it. But if you have the time and energy, redo it. Good luck! And you are so nice to go to all the trouble to make a baby quilt for someone. It's a lot of time and work and money.

I am wondering if the manufacturer changed something or had a defective run. This is the 2nd posting I have seen of Minkee type fabric producing incredible amounts of lint, almost as though every washing was producing more lint instead of it decreasing as you would expect.

I was telling a friend, she said she has cut on the edge of quilts as small as possible, this could take the back fabric off, this only works on quilts tat have been tacked. But she wondered if you could cut the edges off and put face to face and sew leaving a opening to turn back on right sides. When rights sides are sewn (top-batting old and new backing) pulled through opening to put both sides on top & back side, now tack. I have quilted child's drag around
blankets this way. They have all tacking or tacking and quilting. Hope this makes sense. Sorry about your fabric.
