I have to agree with Material Witness. As kids, we did TONS of things that are real "no-nos" these days & I have to say I'm healthier than most young people I know today. I have made quite a few baby quilts & always wash them in the same soap that I use for my regular wash (All Free). Baby will be just fine!
