From My Own High Horse ... ( LOL )

I wouldn't worry about fabric content.
I would make sure it was sturdy enough to survive rough handling and machine washing/dryer.
If it was obviously damaged - which includes stains and faded spots - I would not use it.
If I wouldn't want to snuggle up under it, I would not donate it for use by people. I would donate it to a pet shelter. (I donate any quilts I'm not happy with to a local pet shelter.)

I don't have to think it's pretty, but it does have to be a good quilt and well enough made. Taste varies from person to person. What I think is butt-ugly might be beautiful in somebody else's opinion (and vice versa).

If it isn't good enough for me, a friend, or a relative, then it isn't good enough to send to a stranger to who I claim I want to demonstrate compassion and support.
