I want to make a few taggies for some adults in care were my daughter works.

Any suggestions I have never made a taggies before.

It would be similiar to an Alzhimers Quilt I guess. Thanks

I would probably make each square about 12 inches and do them 3 squares by 3 squares.

you could use any ribbon, satins,silks,maybe some grosgain ribbon. they should be pretty simple to do..i have seen them at craft shows.
if you google them, maybe you will some some different variations of them..
look in the scrap bins at joanns, if you have one..for corderoy and silky feeling fabrics. for the block itself.

Thanks Kim my daughter and I went to ww today and bought some touchy feely fabric and some different things for taggies. Tomorro we will go to Jo Ann's for fake fur. My daughter works at care home for handicapped adults and she is making this for a patient she takes care of. We are adding all kinds of cool fringe and stuff to touch and jingle with. She is pretty excited. My daughter is growing up to be a nice young woman.
