They are safe for toddler quilts. They are not deemed safe for loose sleepwear (such as nightgowns and PJs with loose legs and loose shirts) because oxygen can reach both sides of the fabric, making the sleepwear extremely combustible if brushed against a space heater, exposed to a match flame, etc. (10 seconds or less to completely engulf a child in flames). The thickness of a quilt means that it will be much slower to combust, giving an adult time to respond to a fire crisis.

Are you sure the label says it's not for use in children's clothing? I think it's only deemed unsafe for children's *sleepwear*.
