I guess some people just don't know what they have. You're right Ruth, it is rather sad. It's not even like those colors are somehow "out". Gee I would think that with a nice quilt in that sort of contition if someone didn't want it, they could give it to a family member or friend that would love to have it.
In my family quilts are loved unto tatters, and then we still use them, or in my case put them up for the next little girl. :oops:
