A while ago my 5 year old granddaughter wanted a quilt for her dolly. I grabbed some scraps, including some offcuts of batting trimmed from the edges of quilts I had made and I made a quick little quilt. My granddaughter loved it and liked to sleep with it on her pillow until one day her mother noticed a weird chemical smell in her daughters' hair one morning. I never thought to wash the batting...had forgotten it may have had spray baste on it. As she is a "hot" sleeper, her scalp sweated through the little quilt and picked up the remnants of glue baste still on the batting. Totally my mistake for not thinking to wash the batting first I know. I still feel so cross with myself that I haven't used the spray baste since. I'm too worried I may not wash the quilt thoroughly enough to get rid of all the spray baste after it is completed and a similar thing happen again.
