It's adorable and a great design for a little one. Love the dragon.

I love it! I make fairy houses and wooden castles and never thought about a quilt castle. While this is great, you could go crazy with more additions - a brown drawbridge? a high up window? with maybe a princess leaning out? my brain is going into overload.......

Looks great...your dragon is cute!

This is very kool. I am sure that it will be loved to bits. BrendaK

The dragon is the cutest part!

Also, credit to kwiltr for the Elmer's glue tip.

I'm glad you saw my post in time and it helped! When I appliqued the minky on my quilt, I was told the minky (which was actually the Shannon Fabrics version) won't fray when it's cut, and to just throw it in the dryer with a damp facecloth or two to get rid of all the shedding and that worked really well. I didn't satin stitch mine either, but just used a zigzag in the pile of the minky, which ended up not showing anyway and straight stitched some quilting in, i think. Anyway, it held on thru washing. Your quilt is really cute. I love the dragon!!

I think it's adorable! And great job on the castle shape!
When I work with Minky doing applique, I use just a bit of my 505 basting spray to hold it.
