I have explored internet and I could find not evidence of rag quilts being a choking hazard. There were many claims that it could be one, but no emperical evidence that it could happen.
In addition, I have a flannel rag quilt which I wash often and it has never clogged my washer.
You have raised valid concerns. I would hate to use a quilt that would cause damage to a child or my machines.
Does anyone know this to be true?
