I bought some flannel the other day and measured prior to. After washing it only shrunk about 1/2" total. BUT I have never had flannel pill like this did. Feel like I'm going to have to take the clippers to it. oh well.

I would wash and dry the quilt in a dryer before gifting it. Minky doesn't shrink at all (poly), flannel usually shrinks quite a bit and cottons all shrink differently too. You may end up with lots of crinkle in the Minky with less on the cotton. This is one of the reasons I prefer to work with fabrics that have been washed. Please take pictures of the quilt after it is washed and show us the results.
