I hadn't even thought about the toxicity of dryer sheets, we use them on clothing to dry. I suppose most everything is flammable when I think about it. However, this is just a table runner and isn't going to be a quilt for anyone.

Re BilsBonBon: I love those quilts you did though. That black and white one is very striking.
