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.
anyone?

Babies nowadays are generally put to sleep in sleep sacks or jammies a bit heavier than normal.
There's some concern about a baby smothering in their sleep with a blanket of any weight.
Remember however, that tiny one will be carried around a lot. Sometimes if you're at Aunt Lou's she's not got a baby bed so a quilt on the floor is the prefect answer. Even on the grass or concrete patio or whatever.
