This time I decided to use just one big piece of the Minkee rather than wrestling with different types and patterns of Minkee. This time, I backed it with strips of pink fabrics from the Cotton Candy quilt I made for our friends' baby, due this month, and one of my four entries in this week's Quilt Show. It's pretty ho-hum, admittedly, but the construction is better and neater. I love the pink fabrics, so perhaps that ought to be the front, and the Minkee, the back!
Incidentally, I wish I had read the link above before I made the first Minkee blanket! That site has some excellent tips.

Another warm touch for someone needing warmth and comfort. I wonder who invented Minkee. I understand it is the preferred choice for baby blankets and some people are even using it outside diapers for a cozy touch.
ReplyDeleteI'm still not sure what makes a Minkee a Minkee.
ReplyDeleteApparently, it is very soft cozy material. I also like the 'cotton candy' stripes. It will look lovely when a mother lays her babe on the pink and then wraps the blankek around the child so that the pretty stripes show.
SWEET !
