I have made several quilts with flannel and Minkee. They turned out really, really cute and my grandkids love them! Minkee does shed when you are cutting it but is fine when it is washed. Of course, it will shed in the washer/dryer for the first few times as any rag quilt does, but I have had no problems with it at all. I have an AccuQuilt cutter and use the rag dies which is great, but I am sure it would work the normal way as well. Minkee may not fray in the "normal" way we think of for rag quilts, but it is very cute and feels wonderful. I think you will love it!!
