It doesn't bother me. I make quilts as my creative outlet. I love it and have fun with it. I don't make them for anyone else's approval. I do enjoy having someone admire my quilts though. Please don't let this stop you from giving to charity. Project Linus is a very worthy cause. If you look on their website they call quilts blankets too. It still doesn't mean that the child who receives it will love it any less.
