also do not use monofilamet thread for baby quilts. It can easily wrap around a finger or toe and not be detected.

People also put buttons and doo-dads on baby quilts. NO, NO, NO. I lost a great uncle due to a choking hazard when he was 3.

And babies can lose toes or fingers that way. :(

Thanks - I knew about buttons and the monofilament thread.
Didn't think about the threads coming off for babies.

Also, loosely knitted or crochet afghans could be a problem.

I knew of this, so never make rag quilts for babies. For baby quilts, I never use monofilament thread or any kind of buttons or those small craft decorations that are ironed onto the quilt.

Just realized that this is an old post but the message is still timely.
Mamagus, thanks for posting this.
