A friend has asked me to make a sumptuous, luxurious velvet quilt for her baby that will be coming in a few months. My first thought was that velvet will be VERY difficult to care for as it usually needs to be dry cleaned.

I told her that I needed to do some research to see if there was something a little more laundry friendly. What I thought might work would be velveteen. Has anyone made any quilts with velveteen? Does anyone have a better suggestion for a luxury quilt?
