Your blocks do need to have sashing and a border.
The pink you have chosen is a great color.

Ask the specific LongArm Quilter who will be doing the work. If in doubt, don't. Using a longer stitch will help if doing it on a regular sewing machine. With the right batting, you won't need the tight detailed quilting that LongARm quilting is prized for. Stick with simple. And YES to the Pink Sashing and Pink Borders.

I love your quilt.....I am a heart lover! I just did a twin sized minkee on the longarm. Make sure to load it with the non stretch side up. It quilts beautifully :-D

I like the sashing between the blocks. Also, I have used minkie as backing and quilted it on my longarm. Just be very carfeul not to stretch the minkie. I also found if you load it with the least stretchy sides on the take up rollers/backing roller it works fine. Good Luck and let me know how it works for you.

Love the pink around the blocks. And yes, you can do minky on a longarm, just do not over tighten when loading and keep the quilting open, not too dense or it will pucker. It is like silk on the back, soft and snuggly.

I like the pink around each block. As for the backing, I can't help you on that.

Go with the pink sashing! Great quilt! Ask the longarmers on the board about the minky-would be nice!
