While I agree, also, that whoever turned the quilts into ironing board covers was probably not a quilter...I could see wanting one to cover my ironing board that sits out all the time. This person sees a market for this and simply is providing the material. While I would never cut up one of my quilts, or the quilts of my aunt or grandmother...I might possibly be tempted to pick up on at a resale store (goodwill or other places) and do that, especially if, as a previous poster said, there were stains/tears on the quilt in other places.
