I was in a charity quilt group years ago and 2 of the ladies seem to be competing for best quilt. They had more time and money than the rest of us and it turned into a bigger and better contest....whatever. I personally would make 2 smaller quilts than 1 big one. Most of my fabric came from the Daisy Kingdom sale floor and their were always cute and/or bright. These were going to kids at risk at a safe house so we were never to go to the actual drop off location. Instead, we took them to a local, well established business that is supposed to be aimed for women who need help. Guess which quilts were disappearing...probably by the employees at that center. Hard telling how many were gone before we caught them just stacking them all up. We found another way to get them to the safe house after that but took some of the fun out of it.
