There are a lot of Minky colors so I think you could probably find one to go with it. Men like "soft" as well and I would think that it would be much warmer with the Minky backing. I'd say, go for it.

Since you don't have a lot of time I'd say just go for it! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Be sure and wash the flannel before using. Also use the color catchers or Retayne. Flannel shrinks and runs terribly. I did a couple of quilts last year and used fleece for the backing and they were super warm--used batting, too.
