I made a Christmas tree skirt using cotton and gold lame.. the lame kept fraying.... where it is so shimmery and lightweight, I had to fuse fusible interfacing to the back of it. But it turned out very nice and its been washed many times. Every time we take out the Christmas linens, we also wash and freshen up the tree skirt too where it was stored away for 12 months :) I'm not sure though if lame would be good in a baby quilt providing it was very well sewn and no frays showing. It is also not the softest material for a baby quilt.

Moonpi makes alot of valid points there... Lame might not be the most fire retardant friendly.... so delete the above note... lame is good in anything besides baby quilts :cry:
