I hope every quilt made, charity or not, finds a person to cherish it.
It has really bothered me that so many people put "charity" quilts in a category that says it doesn't matter how the quilt looks or the workmanship that went into it. It should be obvious that you aren't talking about making heirloom quilts to give to strangers, but giving something you wouldn't let your cat sleep on to a person who is already down is a sin. Most recipients of "charity" quilts would far rather be in a position to be giving quilts than receiving them.
Thanks for the comments like the one above, but shame on the ones of you who are condescending snobs. froggyintexas
