i didnt do small of babies but when i give a quillow to someone, i spray it with my perfume,
not that close to the quilt, but on the air around the quilt, so the quilt gets it from the air.
i never had a problem of stains with it.

another thing that might be useful,
i didnt try it with quilts,
when i buy tissues for when i am cold etc. i put them in a draw
with (i dont know the name is english) - it is a long stick with powder that you need to burn
and it gives nice smell to the room, (most of the time it comes from india),
so i put it in its package! not loose - there is no powder any where,
in short while all the tissues (are in their package'as well) smells with this great smell.

(I think that Becky is referring to incense.)

Just a fabric sachet - perhaps drawstring with a little zippered or velcroed inner muslin bag filled with baby powder. But it might leak out!

I was thinking I might be able to incorporate the scent of baby lotion or shampoo in a way to make it linger for a while. Just can't figure out how to do it. Thanx for the input ladies!

They may decide to wash the quilt to get rid of the smell and if the quilt shouldn't be washed, this could be a problem. I am one of those people who get severe headaches from scents.

gynconnie OFFLINE Posts: 730 Thank you received: 27	Would tumbling the quilt in a dryer with a fabric softener sheet work? Do they make them in "baby powder" scent? (I don't use fabric softener, so I'm speaking out of complete ignorance here )

ipquilter OFFLINE Posts: 622	Is there any way to add a scent to a quilt? Such as the smell of baby powder or baby lotion? The quilt won't be washed after delivery.
