A similar situation is happening at the church I attend. They have a few ladies who meet monthly and work on quilts for wounded military. The woman who runs it is a retired school teacher and runs the show like a class room. I have attended three times and realized it was not for me. They cut up old blue jeans and it doesn't matter if there are worn places or not. Her theory is they just need to be warm. One time she had me sewing an upholstery weight velour into pieces. When I asked if the fabric was washable her response was it didn't really matter. They do not use squares or blocks just hunks sewn together to her decided size. They are down to about three ladies and she complains because no one wants to participate.
I belong to a couple of guilds who make charity quilts. They are made of cotton and sometimes they are tied and other times one of the members will machine quilt them. We use the best batting we can afford and have an annual quilt that we receive donations for then a name is chosen from those who donated to be the lucky recipient. The money donated is used for fabric and supplies. We have fabric donated and we go through it and pick out what is suitable for quilts then share the remainder with organizations and individuals who can use it. The quilts are always put together in a manner that is somewhat attractive, matches and made with good thoughts intended to bring care and comfort to the recipient.
I am relatively certain the ones done at the church are either tossed or donated to a dog rescue. That is fine but the group could be grown and made fun by just remembering the recipients are people and deserve a bit of comfort by being wrapped in a quilt made by caring hands.
