I made a rag quilt with the ultra cuddle from Joann's. I think it's similar to the minky. On the back I used flannel. I can get a picture when my grandson wakes up. The cuddle is messy to work with and I did not prewash the flannel. This was my first rag quilt and I think it turned out pretty well. I used the color catchers since it is red and black and did not have any issues.
