I love the Minky quilt! Great to cuddle with!!👏👏
It really is cuddly💛
I bet that you are so pleased with this minky quilt 🥰 I’m so looking forward to starting your original quilt idea - I’ve finally got round to ordering some suitable 🤞 fabric. Can’t wait 😊 And what a great idea for buying the minky fleece 👍👍 It’s nice to know that there might be cheaper alternatives. 🤔 Thank you so much. 🇬🇧
*_Your'e welcome Glynis💜...I was actually really surprised at how well the "dollar general" plush blanket took the quilting..I wasn't sure when I bought it...I took a chance that paid off....✅_*
WOW! IM afraid of minky!, was I might venture out and try something small, lap throw maybe! Hmmm you did a realy good demonstration, nice job! Thank You for sharing all the tricks with us! Enjoy!
*_You should totally try it Nonya...so easy and soft and cuddly 💛_*
Good Morning Tracy, I haven’t made a quilt as you go.. you make it look easy and beautiful. Thanks for the tips. ❤️ Chris-Raleigh NC
*_You are so welcome!✅_*
Beautiful!! Thanks for the tip on buying the blanket versus the actual yardage. Quilting can be expensive so tips like this are a lifesaver!
You’re welcome Donna! And the blankets at the dollar store are nice too✅
I would never have thought to buy a blanket, but how cool is that?
Very cool! And super soft and affordable ✅
Thank you so much! This is the first QAYG joining video that has made the process clear for me. It’s great to know the Dollar General blankets are good Minky for quilts!
*_Yes Iomgene ...the plush blanket from the Dollar General worked surprisingly well...I'm so glad this video cleared up connecting the QAYG blocks...✅_*
That is such a lovely QAYG finish! Thanks for posting!
*_Glad you like it!💛_*
Brilliant and So gorgeous !
*_Thank you so much Jo💛_*
I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos! Thank you!
*_That's so awesome Amy!!! It does my heart good to know I'm helping in a small way❤️_*
Love this and can’t wait to try it! I recently made a baby blanket and a throw using minky. And it definitely stretches. I did a lot of squaring up! I quilted the minky to cotton patchwork, so I stitched in the ditch. They turned out nice, but it was definitely a learning curve! I noticed flaws that the recipients will never see. Thank you for all your great ideas!
*_ @Handrewsmom You're welcome 💛Your quilt_* sounds lovely💛
Love this idea and I can't wait to try it. :-)

*_Thanks for the kind feedback April💛_*
This quilt as you go makes things so clear, thank you so much! I don’t have dollar general but will be one the lookout for this fleece blanket. Seems like a fun way to practice my quilting!
Yes it is real easy to do🤓Gloria-maybe they would have the plush blankets at any dollar store near you?🤷🏻♀️Even a department store like walmart or target would have them✅
Pretty. You make it look so easy.
*_Thank you Faye💛_*
Very nice! Unfortunately, we don't have Dollar General Stores in San Diego County. 🙁 However, I do have about a 4-ish yd. bundle of new, white 60" width fleece that I found at a thrift store that I may use to make a pseudo-minky FMQAYG quilt at some point. First, I've got to get caught up making FMQ blocks! I'm 4 or 5 videos behind!!!!
*_Oh I thought Dollar General stores were everywhere in the US. Maybe another dollar store is comparable in your area? What a great thrift find Dori✅_*
@@TheSewingChannel There are a couple of Dollar General Stores in the next county, about 75 miles away. We do have Dollar Tree stores, but they aren't as big or carry as much merchandise as those in other states. We do have A LOT of beautiful sunny weather, though. 🌞 Can't have it all!
My first and third quilt were T-shirt quilts made quilt as you go. My second was a bandanna quilt I took to a local long armer to quilt. I do not know that I want to try free motion quilting.
Have you ever tried using the minky as a foundation for a string quilt?
No I haven't ......
How do you put backing on..I did free motion on squares then embroidered the square with flowers now I Don know how to put backing on and where do I attach it because of free motion on the front .Do I stitch in ditch? Thank you DorisSchaffer.
Beautiful! I am wondering how the blanket will wash up. Will pill, pull, or shed?
*_Good question! I'll let ya know when it's done and washed what it does✅🤷🏻♀️_*
When I worked at JoAnn’s in 2019 Minky was hard to cut! No way I would want to work with it.
When you cut the minky squares, did you have fuzz ?
Oh yes lol 😂
Would this technique work with a sherpa backing instead of minky? I am trying to make a quilt and the recipient wants sherpa backing. Thanks!
I think so...do a test block to see how it holds up🤷🏻♀️
I get it that Minky is soft, very soft. But how practical is it in the wash/dry department for a quilt 🤔. Especially considering a baby/child quilt....
Just as practical as cotton🤷🏻♀️
@@TheSewingChannel Wash in cold water, delicate cycle, hang dry or tumble on air setting 🤔
I wash warm...and dry til dry🤷🏻♀️ Never had a problem at all✅
