This may would be a great outdoor quilt. Camping, fishing etc. since it repels water.

I would be worried about the chemicals in it that make it water repellant-against a baby's skin. I'd find another use for it.

I would be concerned about the chemicals and a baby breathing them. I think a camping quilt would be a better use for adults.

I would hesitate to use this for a baby quilt. What kind of chemicals were used to make it insulated??? Also, have you tried needling it? It might just resist your needle and make it hare to quilt if you hand quilt.

If you have washed the fabric, and it still looks and feels good, it should be fine to use. You have received another jewel for your crown for your honesty. Bless you!
