I'm so sorry I didn't learn this earlier for you. I just did the test today & there is NO way I'd use them in a quilt now. I'm talking about instant flames. Please, everybody should try this very carefully so you'll see it first hand. Just be very careful.
If you're giving them away, I'd consider warning the receiver about how to handle them. Too keep them away from fireplaces, etc.
I applaud both of you for your concern, but cotton burns very fast too. The fabric that is flame retardant is specifically labeled as such, and is usually flannel. Does this help?
