I was wondering if and one knows what you put in a touch quilt to make the crinkley sound.
Be nice to have a little sound in the quilt.

I've never done it, but I heard that you should use the cellophane wrap from products like gum, etc. Not the plastic wrap that some packages come in.

I've heard about using plastic bags that some cereals come in, the bag that is inside the box. It's sturdy stuff.
Here's another question about these quilts. I've seen some where the people put a clear plastic pouch for a photo. I have some clear heavy duty plastic I could use for this but how exactly do you sew clear heavy duty plastic??? Has anyone ever done that?
Picture is a neat idea.
The thing i watch is what happens when it is washed . And they do get washed a lot.
Wonder about using the invisable thread it is plastic also and put a touch of glue on the back of it .
I did find stuff for it to make the crinkle sound but its like $45.00 a box.
I find they really like silk on it it,s cool to the touch .
Thanks
Tom

How does the silk handle washing? Possibly hot water washing in a facility....
In place of silk, couldn't you add some blanket binding?
I cut up baby wipe refills to put inside flannel taggies to get the sound.

I never made my mom a quilt that crinkled! I made her small quilts that had a lot of stuff added like a zipper, strips of colored tapes that sort of dangled, pockets that snapped, etc. I made them about 12 to 18" and she loved them. She thought she made them or was working on them but then she was a quilter. I took every quilt I made to her and she got to use them. I also did her laundry so I didn't have to worry about those heavy duty and scalding hot machines and dryers. They gave her so much comfort and they kept her busy at work on them. I miss her.

That mylar sheet product you put in hot pads makes a sound.
Is this to be a wall quilt or a lap robe?
