Thank you for posting your awesome quilt. I like the whale fabric you chose. I appreciate the link to the disappearing 9 patch pattern. The video has lots of tips. The minky back is sure to be snuggly. You have inspired me to try this quilt. I like that you can use the 5" precut squares for the 9 patch if you wish. Happy quilting!

Nice quilt! Happy to hear that the minky worked out well. I may need to give that a try!

Did you use any batting?

Yes, I did and I think it's a perfect thickness/weight with batting. I happened to use cotton batting but afterwards I read suggestions to pre-wash your cotton fabric, use poly batting with the poly minky backing and you'll avoid any uneven shrinkage.. Must say I love the minky feel!
