    Question Anyone heard of "minky" material

    I've heard its just the softest material around. I'm going to be looking for some of this to make my own "minky" blanket.

    http://www.minkydelight.com/

    Anyone done anything with minky material as of yet?

    My local craft store has a huge display of it. It is so incredibly soft and it makes gorgeous baby blankets. I even saw a lovey (half blanket/half bear) made out of it. It was adorable. My little boy loves to touch it, but it's a little pricey here. Good luck with it. And let us know if it turns out well.

    I haven't bought any, but I've heard it's incredibly soft and the best for making baby blankets

    I heard its very expensive too. I've also heard many quilters saying they want a "minky" blanket all of their own.

    Now I have a reason to visit a quilting store.

    Darlene, deals or not I think I'm going to buy some. I just want to be able to say "I have a minky blanket and it goes everywhere with me". Then those who think I'm loonie will know it.

    I bought some at Keepsake Quilting's summer sale. They had an auction for some random sized pieces. I haven't really played with it yet but it is fun to pet.

    Try http://www.fabricdepot.com The price for Minkee is much higher than quilting fabric. Hmm, I forget but once a month they have 40% off.
