I've tried drying out the quills first then blitzing, but like you I get the grainy splinters.  I've gone back to using a little elec spice grinder that I've had for years and that does the job.  Hopefully someone else has been successful and can give us some hints.  :)

Googling usually comes up with what I am looking for Amanda, anyone can do it.  I just typed in 'grinding cinnamon quills in the thermomix' then followed the links. :-* :-*
