This is an ongoing pet peeve for me--the idea that because a quilt is "for charity" makes it OK to donate something that's not the best we can do, or at least something that we'd be happy owning ourselves or giving to someone we know as a gift. For myself, I think how I would feel if my child was sick, if I were in a homeless shelter, or any of the other sad circumstances that make folks recipients of "charity quilts". I'd like to feel that the person who made the quilt took the time and trouble to make it nicely and with care, not just something that was "good enough for charity".
