I know several organizations that are "picky" but then again like Project Linus, we are a chapter with tax exemption 504 something or other. Quilts have to be 100% cotton and no embellishmenst like buttons etc. But when we get quilts that don't meet our goals, we don't hurt feelings, we have other groups like CAC, CPS, Nursing homes, etc we can send them to. And they do the same. YOu did a lot of hard work in those ties. I send pillowcases to a friend's son and he gives them out. No rules to follow.
Keep your head up and continue to do what you feel. You have a wonderful, caring heart and your heart was in the right place.
