So I'm shamelessly stealing an idea from the "hammock magnetism" thread.
I'm contemplating using Neodymium magnets instead of snaps to close the footbox of my top quilt. I'm getting pretty close to the "finish" stage. I was curious if anyone else has tried this.

Can you see any drawbacks to using this over snaps or velcro? I was thinking of encasing it in a piece of grosgrain or regular 1.1 OSY nylon. Think that will work?
