I wouldn't suggest using the minky as binding, though, it's too stretchy.

I used the silk pre-folded binding on a quilt and not matter what I do, i can't get it to crease. it's so wide, I thought I'd just use it double folded and it would be nice and strong, but it ends up round and puffy. Wierd! Hope you have better luck. nancy

Thanks, Jean. That would work nicely and solve my problem, well, this one anyway

so many quilts, so little time.....

I suggest silk blanket binding, if you want to continue with the theme of different textures. Just thinking back to my childhood, I always loved the blankies with the silk binding. (Mom started something bad) Just my opinion.

What's the best way to bind a baby quilt that's cotton patchwork on one side and Minkee on the other? My daughter fosters newborns and I make a new quilt for each one so when they move on, they have something cuddly with "good smells" of home. My daughter found a pink piece of Minkee in my stash and that's what she wants. Since she is a single(newly divorced) working mother of four young kids, and fostering(her reason for being she says), getting the quilt right is the least I can do. Thanks for input.
