I agree. This was my first thought when I read your post. Baby quilts get more washing than other quilts, simply because they get used "harder" and well, they need to be washed. The more delicate fabric from the dress might not take that level of frequent care. Unless the quilt is for wall decor, I would suggest you keep the wedding dress fabric for other projects: christening dresses, wedding ring pillows, decorative bed pillows, sachet bags, display-doll dresses. You want your lovingly made baby quilt to last over time..
