I agree with this comment. In some third world countries, these quilts may be used underfoot or on the roof. There are stories of how the nice or pretty quilts never make it to their destinations because they have value on the black market. An ugly quilt may keep the sun off hungry children as well as a pretty one. The goal should be to make the quilt and get it to where it is needed. Keep up the good work.
