...if you can stand it....

I have not made any, my charity is of the $$ variety.

But all the posts on charity quilts got me thinking about the first ones I ever heard of, about 15-20 years ago.
The local guild (I am not a member) was making quilts to send to Albania, I think it was, for kids who were dying of AIDS because hypodermic needles were being re-used in the hospitals.

My first thought was, why aren't they making a raffle quilt to raise money so the hospitals can buy NEW needles (or they can send needles overseas) and prevent more kids from getting sick?

Am I bad for thinking that? and is sending a quilt to someone always the most appropriate solution for a problem?
