using minkee to make a baby blanket- messy stuff
#16
Those fabrics like minkee are messy to cut. I made my grandaughter a quilt from something similar a few years ago and I just cut it into square blocks about 5" square, maybe 6". I used several colors. Backed it with flannel so didn't use batting in it and tied it.
The less you cut on those fabrics the easier it is I think. But your quilt is going to be pretty. Good luck with the rest of it!

I have made several minkee quilts....I always keep my vacuum close by and suck up the mess as I go....I have never cut the pieces as small as yours. I usually just do strips and do a quilt as you go. I cannot imagine the mess with such small pieces!!
Good Luck it looks beautiful so far!!!
