It never ceases to amaze me how two quilts can be the same and so different at the same time. Great job on both, they are lovely

You are one creative quilter and your daughter is one very lucky gal! Both quilts are beautiful! Thanks for sharing them with us.

Minkee tends to be stretchy so difficult to quilt with on top. However, my long arm quilter says that it is not a problem on the frame, on bottom. I do have to be careful when putting my binding on a quilt that is backed with Minkee. The pressure foot tends to want to slide off. I just have to really focus on keeping everything lined up and stitch a little more slowly. Minkee also tends to be messy with a lot of fuzzies when you cut it. So be prepared to clean you machine and your sewing space after using it. Hope this is responsive.
