When washing my rag quilt I can pull my drain hose from the washing machine and hang in in the sink this is in the basement and I cover the hose with soft screen you can get at home depot and catch all my threads. You wouldn't belive how much comes off of your flannel.

I was making a rag quilt for Christmas present and NOT enjoying it at all. The cutting part, that is. Was at Joannes and found a pair of Fiskar scissors that were called rag quilt scissors. I used a coupon and got them for like fourteen dollars. They are worth every penny, especially since I really like the rag quilt and plan to make them for the men of the family for Christmas. Thought I would share that info,just in case someone was interested.

check with Hospital before doing rag quilts for them . some say no rag quilts because there is to much loose fiber , lint fluff.on a rag quilt and some don't want any thing that might get tangled in the IV's or oxygen tubes

I have two large lap size flannel rag quilts that I have made for Christmas gifts and there is NO way I would wash and dry them in my own equipment. They will go to the cleanest laundromat I can find. They are two layers of matching fabrics with a medium flannel in the center - yes they are heavy and I definitely recommend double stitching each row.

PS:
Not trying to put a damper on your kind heart but teeny tiny fingers and toes may get caught around strings,flanel would be snuggly but maybe just not the rag type.;)
