Thank you for mentioning that, I was going to as well. Please no poly for children!!! And, honestly I won't use it at all for that reason. It will melt on an adult just as easily, so unless the quilt is for something other than sleeping under, no poly for me.
Wow, thanks for this advise. I had not thought about that.
Another good reason to use cotton batting.
