I feel exactly like this.
You don't have to buy 10.00 a yard fabric to make a nice charity quilt.
I wouldn't feel guilty if the fabric were among my not-favorites either, but I don't want to be condescending to anyone, just as I wouldn't want them to be to me.
If my own house burned down, I wouldn't "expect" anything, but I'd hope ppl wouldn't dress me like a "bag lady".
tsk! tsk! to those that would.
Hope we have helped. Your going to get differing opinions on fabrics, same as every other subject. We know when we're being chintzy, even if we don't admit it. I like to sleep at night.
