Hobby Lobby Easter panel
 
Went to Hobby Lobby today and they have a panel for Easter of puppies with bunny ears and they also have 40% off on fabric. I am a dog lover so I bought it and the backing for it is so cute. I think it is suppose to be used for a quilt as it is a odd shape.Has anyone noticed how big they are making panels that I would want for wall hangings? Also the fabric says it is not suitable for children's sleepware but is a quilt ok?

I"m assuming with a little of poly in it, fabric would burn easier and worse for the wearer. Hence the warning for children's wear. sizes of panels do vary a bit. 20x24 or so. that all depends. I recently bought some panels to use as backing but already used one as the front. just added blocks and borders, etc. Was dragonflies. Have fun.

I haven't been to Hobby Lobby for a month or so. I bought some backing fabrics. I don't look around much as I don't need more fabrics.

I've noticed that many 100% cotton quilting fabrics have that blurb in the selvage. There is a federal law that requires children's sleepwear fabric to meet a certain flameproof criteria. If the fabric is not treated in accordance with that law, it must say it's not suitable for children's sleepwear.

What make fabric flame retardant. The link doesn't tell us that. It only tells us how to test for flammability.
The answer is "chemicals". There was a discussion on this somewhere several years ago. Many parents decided the risk of sleeping with flammable fabric was less than the risk of their children sleeping with chemicals every night
