When maing a minkie rag quilt here are two suggestions that will make it easy. 1. use left over batting from quilts. Its the perfect thickness and it will also help keep the minkie stable. (I use warm and natural). 2. use a walking foot and everything...start to finish. It really is a simple quilt to make. You can also use the june taylor for the fringe. I use to use that when making scrafs. The is a utube some where how to do it...you can cut the blocks prior to sewing them together. no scissor cutting.

If you are making a rag lapsize quilt for an adult...I recommend 8 1/2 blocks 5 across and 7 down - I only did 6 and it does not cover the toes. One nice thing about rag quilts you can make it bigger even after you have washed and dried. hmm...now that is a thought...add a row every few years. crib quilt, twin size than queen...LOL

Oh that is very pretty and must be so SOFT! Use those scraps or give them to another quilter who will,because the tiniest piece of minki is worth saving.
