This is just an aside, and I know many will take offense at it, but this is something I've thought a lot about. People who make quilts for various charities seem to sometimes feel that they don't have to take as much trouble with these as they do with quilts or other projects that they make for their own use, family members or others that they are close to, including using materials that are of poorer quality than they would otherwise use, or workmanship that they don't have to be as proud of.
To me, (and I make many quilts for a charity) it's very important to do the very best job I can and the best materials that I'm able to for people that I know are in some sort of difficult position, whether sick or abused children, soldiers home from war, unwed mothers, etc. It seems to me that if I'm going to do these charity projects at all that I'd like to know that the recipients have gotten the very best I can do and provide for them. That's just IMHO, anyway.
