    Wow, you're ambitious. I love your colors and pattern.
    I've only ever used minkee for a backing, so I've never pieced it.

    So far it is very slippery to work with but so soft and pretty

    Wow. Very pretty. I've never worked with minkee before. I love the softness but fear working with it.

    You are brave! I've used minkee for a 4" border on a baby quilt, but would never dare try it in smaller squares & such.
