I wasn't put in a position of feeling guilty and the person/organization understood. You could carry this forward to supplying quilts also. It works.

I have adopted this for my charitable quilts... I have $$$ amount set aside in my "charitible budget" and a time allocation . When its consumed .. I am done.
