Yes..I used MInky for the backing material..it is very soft fur like material.

I love the leaves....awesome job!!!

Umm..I always put my minky on the stretch frame....many of us do here..and none of us have ever had a problem.....Maybe it depends on quality? I am not sure.....but I have done many minky backed quilts.

Oh, and it's not a Stack and Whack. Not sure what the pattern is, but it sure is pretty!

Not stack and whack, but maybe a shuffled deck?

Lovely job, and I specially love your free motion quilting.

This looks great! I love the minky on the back. I always associate that with baby quilts and I never would have thought to use it for my husband's quilt. But I think that I just might do that! He loves that kind of soft & cozy stuff.
