I have also, sadly, been privy to info regarding folks involved in propane fires and particularly those wearing synthetic clothing. It is those fabrics/fibers melting into the skin of the burn victims that creates the most serious burns.
For baby or any other quilts I make - 100% natural fibers.
According to their website the product is designed to char, not burn or melt. I don’t know what their testing methods are, but that seems preferable to me if it’s true. QD is a reputable, “higher end” supplier of materials for quilters, so I would tend to believe their statement since they have a lot riding on it.
