Rag Quilts and babies
#1
Hi Folks,
This is just a reminder to all you baby quilt artists, that rag quilts are not recommended for babies or toddlers below the age of three...
The soft fluffy "rags" are quite dangerous for children who decide to suck or chew on them. Threads or pieces of material are fairly easy to detach and can cause a baby or toddler to choke.
As much as we like the idea of flannel and babies, please keep this in mind when planning your next baby gift!
Happy quilting!
Lori

Is that okay to have the strings hanging out?

thanks nanabirdmo I've never made a string qui - actually maybe i have! I made one with irreg shaped strips of african theme fabric sewed together long-wise, with a black border, i think. then we hung an
'african" mask in the middle of it supported somehow so it didn't make the quilt sag. It was pretty nice. simple too. the recipient, a bride, loved it.
