To me a charity quilt from me is a gift to someone who is in need, be it needing a hug, or a person who has been thrown a curve in their life, financially or healthwise. I try to use the same craftsmanship I would use in making a gift for a family member. I don't skimp on fabric quality either. I usually use a simpler pattern that will not be too time consuming or difficult to do nicely. These people deserve the same quality as anyone else.
