I also worry about flamability (sic) of baby quilts.

A friend wants me to make a quilt for her new grandchild that is due in late fall. I just want to make sure she understands the relationship of the age of the baby and a quilt.

The only caution I have ever heard about babies and quilts, is to never put a large quilt in bed with them, for obvious reasons, so just make a little one to start?
