    I love the pink around the block! I have used Minky on the backs of my quilts since it first came out when nobody had opinions on how to use it and have NEVER had a problem no matter which way I load it. I've put the salvage both ways when loading and found no difference in it. My GK love it.

    I also like it with the sashing, but I have sewn with minky before and would never use it for sashing. It is a very slippery fabric and a very stretchy one. I have seen it longarmed, and I have quilted some with my embroidery machine using simple quilting designs. I really love minky, but sewing with it is not my favorite. The end result is worth it, though.

    We had problems quilting with minkie on our longarm. I ended up unpicking and starting over with a new back.

    I like the pink around them. My daughter moved to Phoenix last year. She is trying to get started on a quilt with Sea turtles.

    I have seen quilts with minkey on the back that have been long arm quilted. Check with your quilter.

    The quilt I made for my granddaughter was backed with minky, and the LA quilter did a beautiful job on it....And I like yours better with the sashing. It is adorable.
