Welcome to today’s stop on the Quilter’s Newsletter Best Kids Quilts 2015 Blog Tour. Thanks for checking me out!
Take a close look at my quilt “Cuddle Kid”. Notice something about my quilt that is different from some of the other quilts in this issue? My quilt is made with Cuddle Pre-cuts from Shannon Fabrics, also called minky, that super-soft fabric you can’t help but touch when you walk by.
But, do you just walk by and not take any home? Do you have questions about how to sew with minky? Then keep reading. I made this quilt with you in mind. First, I used Shannon Fabric Cuddle Pre-cuts! (Pre-cut minky, that’s awesome!)
I kept the size small so you can try on a smaller project first. And I left the design very simple so you can focus on working with the new fabric.
I started just where you are, wanting to sew with minky but unsure how. If you want to learn more, I have three blog posts where I share all the info and tricks that worked for me.
Start with “Making Minky Easy – My Best Tips for Working With Minky“.
If you want to make a cute stuffed critter, read “Making Minky Easy – How to Stuff an Owl“. The owl pattern, “Happy Scrappy Whoo” is available from Macay Manor Muesers.
And, if you are thirsty for more, read “Making Minky Easy – My Best Binding Method“. 
The pattern for this quilt, “Tiger Eye” is available from my website, Jenny Kae Quilts.
And now for some free stuff! We have two different prizes. You have one week to enter!
For your chance to win, post a comment below between Monday, May 4th at 6:00am MST will Monday, May 11th. and two people will be randomly selected.
Good luck, thanks for coming to my blog and have fun on your tour!

This fabric is so cute!
I haven’t had the chance to sew with Cuddle yet. Cute quilts.
Besides the cute quilts, the stuffed owls are amazingly cute.
The Cuddle fabrics make the softest quilts for kids.
I’ve made several quilts using Minkee. It’s very messy and hard to quilt, but it is so wonderful when it’s done!
I haven’t seen minky precuts before. I’d love to try them, and I love Ann Kelle designs. Thanks so much.
Very cute! I made a Cuddle infinity scarf once but I haven’t tried it in a quilt yet. Looks like fun!
I haven’t sewn with Cuddle. I think you have some beautiful quilts.
Cute fabric and quilts! Love the feel of Cuddle fabric.
Your blocks are so cute. They even look cuddly!
I haven’t yet braved working with these types of fabrics – but these are so darn cute!

Great projects – thanks for sharing. My great niece would love the Happy Scrappy Whoo family. Thanks.
I am learning to use minkee. I have two granddaughters now who love it.
I’ve been a fan of Minkee since I first saw it – love the idea of pre-cuts, so easy to use.
My granddaughter is growing up to be such a big girl – so fast. Love the stuffed owls.
That must be awfully cuddly. I think I am going to try that too. And if solely as a backing.

I love using Minky fabrics for baby quilts. Well, I think they would make a lovely quilt for me too!
I haven’t tried using minky in a quilt yet. I always thought it would be too hard to work with. Thanks for the great tips on sewing with minky and for the giveaway.
Oooh, the owls!!! I’ve never used minky but just bought some and looking forward to it and seeing how my quilt will do.
Those would make some cuddly baby quilts.
This is lovely fabric. Minky always makes me smile. 🙂

I have sewn with minky before. I didn’t have any problems but I didn’t mix in cottons either. Love the sweet pink monkey fabric. Just perfect for my little monkey at home..
Clever and daring, I would never have even considered piecing minkee. Love the prints in these.
Love these fabrics! I’ve never seen them in precuts before – they’d make perfect gifts for all the new babies in my life atm! x
