This is incredible-everyone grabs for this quilt first, it’s so cozy! I’ve never used minky as backing before, per Hannah’s suggestion I also used my go-to cotton batting-even though some sites say you don’t need to. It makes it a lovely loft and so warm! I quilted it easily on my own machine with no issues. Pinned lots as it slips I read and use a stretch needle! Great product, I will definitely purchase other prints for backing as well!
