I too agree with the posters who aren't horrified. Maybe the donated quilts will have another well-loved life after their original purpose. Maybe there are reasons why they aren't kept. I read here a lot about using quality fabrics and thread so the quilt will last as forever as possible. I don't consider that with my quilts and figure they are going to end up in a Good Will or some other place one day. Similarly, I always see old family photos in estate sales and antique/flea market places. What's up with that? Probably for some of the same reasons the quilts end up there too.
