Good Grief! I can sort of understand an old worn out quilt ending up there, but a new quilt! REALLY! I have only made one quilt to give away and it was greatly appreciated. A friend of mine got breast cancer and I wanted to make something personal to cheer her up. I used bright colors and put bright yellow fleece on the back. She still tells me how cuddly and wonderful it is and how her friends all complement it. I am planning on doing a quilt Xmas next year and after reading all of this will be careful who is on the list. I have made many a dog bed and stuffed it with foam or left over batting etc. but a quilt for a doggie always came out of my scrap pile, not my new fabric stash.
