I think quality of workmanship is the important thing in a quilt.
After all I can make far more 4-patch quilts for charity than say Baltimore Album quilts. That doesn't mean the 4-patch quilts were made without care or thought. It's quality not pattern.
I haven't made any charity quilts but the two quilts I have actually completed I have given to family. One of those was a lopsided log cabin where the only way it would arrange was in the straight furrows pattern. My cousin still loved it for her baby anyways. I don't know if she knew it wasn't made properly.
