I have had to bite my tongue not to say anything when members of my charity group bring in donations.

It is not so much the colors as the quilting.

A few lines across is not enough to hold it together in my opinion.

A childs quilt is going to get dragged around and laundered. These will look like an old sack after washing it. I dont do fancy quilting, but at least stitch in the ditch no further than 4-6" apart. Some have it 10-12", that is not going to hold up. It may look ok now freshly stitched.
