Thanks so much for posting this! I'm working on a quilt for a soon-to-be-born baby boy right now. I purchased minky not sure what I would do with it, but after seeing your little newborn quilt I'm definitely going to back with it, without batting. What size did you make the baby quilt? It looks just perfect and I wasn't sure how big (actually, small!) to make it.
Both are gorgeous, by the way

IQ, here are pictures of the baby boy quilts we made in December. We did not use batting again, and we didn't ruffle the satin. I'm sure there's a more pro way to do all this, this way works for us. I taped the minkey to a wall, right side facing the wall, and lightly sprayed it with fabric glue. Then I had the top folded into quarters and I laid it over the sprayed back a quarter at a time. She wanted it quilted in squares but often my girls don't even quilt them. They turn out nice and snuggly.
For our grand son, he gets the big quilt and his sisters each got a smaller one(which you see) for their dolls.

Cute, and great idea about the doll quilts. Our little fellow is going to have 2 "big" sisters.
What size are the baby quilts, please? That's my biggest challenge at this point, not having any recent baby experience.
