I wish I could do minky but not sure if that would "match" what the quilt is and if that's "manly"?!?!? Would flannel be best??? THANKS!!! :o)

i have used fleece for the backing (without batting).. that made a really nice warm quilt & if you get it with the coupon @ joanne's it's a pretty good deal

What are/is color catchers???
