    I have frequently made quilts to give as baby shower gifts. Instead of the usual crib quilts, I make them larger, about 60 or 65 inches square, sometimes even larger. I tell the mother that the quilt is to throw on the floor for baby to play on. Since they are made to throw on the floor, I don't take the pains with it that I would for one that would usually be hung on the side of the crib for show. This is where I try to use up scraps. Floor quilts were what we usee to do for babies before wall to wall carpeting, central heating and A/C.

    Sorry about misspelled words. In this case, it's not me, it's Spell-check. I corrected one word 6 times and Spell-check changed it back to its idea each time.

    Not that I've ever known .... I just now did some googling and didn't find anything about them.

    Yes ... though I did not find it on their site.

    And too, it may be something they would not be able to ship, because of the type of product.

    I have read the book but did not start due to the number of different chemicals used to protect. I have made small quilts which get thrown on the floor, they are intended for the dogs to lie on or for my feet on cold wooden floors. A mat for the floor would use pieces of fabric and rag rug or ?...Wrap scraps around thick cord and sew on a sewing machine with a zigzag stitch. Can also make baskets using same method( sorry senile moment) forgot name. These methods are thicker and more solid than quilts.(very old way of making carpets by the poor)

    They don't have stores in Canada but they do ship to Canada via DHL. I called their 800-# and asked.

    I don't think I could ever walk on a quilt on purpose.
