I have explored internet and I could find not evidence of rag quilts being a choking hazard. There were many claims that it could be one, but no emperical evidence that it could happen.

In addition, I have a flannel rag quilt which I wash often and it has never clogged my washer.

You have raised valid concerns. I would hate to use a quilt that would cause damage to a child or my machines.

Does anyone know this to be true?

I made a denim raggedy quilt that did clog my washing machine the first time it was washed! I doubt if there would be that much problem after the first washing. After I made the second quilt, I sent it to a friend that had an old wringer washing machine and she washed it for me in that. I had to take the pump off my washing machine after washing the first quilt and clean it out. Not fun.

I made rag quilts for my granddaughters and they threw them away. They thought they were torn. Now why would I give them torn quilts??? I guess the raggy look didn't get popular in So. Calif. Their loss. I haven't made them any others, either. I do love them, too.
