That must be really discouraging. You put time, attention, effort, and love into making something that you hoped would help the charity you support. I like the others' recommendations that you donate the cash instead. However, consider making quilts for charities that provide quilts or other blankets to people who need them, such as Project Linus. That way, you get the pleasure of quilting, and you know that the quilt will be valued by the organization who receives it.
