I have sewn it over the seams in some of my baby quilts....adds character to them!
|
I agree it adds alittle something to a quilt.
|
I think it would look great in a little boy quilt, as long as itisnt pink, lol!
|
Fons and Porter braided the ric rac and made it look very cool. They took 2 strands and wrapped them around each other. Made it look like a rope. Then they sewed down the center over a seam. I love the look and if you use the right colors you will have a wonderful boy baby quilt!!!

I think that it may shrink a lot - at least it used to when I sewed for my girls.[/quote][/quote]
------------------------------------- Years ago when we were square dancing, every piece of rick rack that I used in my first dress shrank and had to be ripped out, washed in HOT water and resewed. On a quilt it might be pretty on an ocean background, but not in areas that need to lie flat. |
I agree color has a lot to do with the choice boy/girl. Red rick rack on top above looks quite boyish to me.

I've seen rick rack to give the illusion of waves in a baby sail boat quilt
