The only one I have completed right now and that can get there in time is one that I made for myself as a "couch quilt". It isn't perfect, not all the points match and there are a few mistakes in it. It isn't horrible by any means, just something I never intended for public view and I'm just not sure it is appropriate for a donation. Any advice?
Decide ahead of time it's YOUR DONATION and any quilt police can take a flying leap. Then send it. I did a personal sized quilt---long way for perfect--and figured if it brought in 75-100 dollars I'd have made a good donation. It brought in $240. I was shocked.
And kiddo/lung transplant recipient last spring is doing great and will be swimming in the local high school swimming sectionals tomorrow night! Not fast----------but he is breathing well.
