I only give to charity what I'd want to receive myself. I give things to the Goodwill that are in good condition only. Junk gets pitched. I do charity quilts, too. And I make sure they are sturdy and washable. No, they aren't heirlooms, very simple in fact. But I try to picture the receiver and I hope they get joy from my donation. Unsuitable fabric donations never get used--they get offered to my 4H sewing members or they get passed along to the Goodwill.
