I quilt at two churches that make double knit quilts. One makes king size ones with sheet backs. The other church makes
twin and lap size with single knit backs. All are tied. For Linus, we only make cotton quilts for children. I am one of the store
houses for donated fabric. One day last fall, a couple of ladies delivered 33 boxes plus some plastic bags of fabric to me. I
sorted that quickly and sent it to good homes! I know which groups use double knit, cotton, cotton/poly, upholstery fabric,
satins, etc. If the fabric is not usable (sheers, dirty) for quilts, we send it to a Children's Home that sends it to El Paso to be
made into rags. Small scraps and threads the people in El Paso send to Africa to be ground up and made into thread. We don't waste any fabric or send it to the landfill. Many of our quilts are lovely; some are not so pretty, but all of them should be well made and servicable for the ones that receive them.
