Rag quilts are a choking hazard for babies and small children. The very thing that makes them so attractive also makes them dangerous.
I have been promoting this for years and will always find a few people who say that because they have never heard of a child choking on a rag quilt it will never happen. Dumb people.
Here is a thread I started a few years ago.
