I'm not in a guild (I'd love to be). However, yes I would be not happy if one of my quilts was 'donated' to someone other than whom I deemed appropriate. You have the right to be cranky about it.
Occasionally I make small quilts for newborns at my local hospital. I give them to different special care nursery nurses that I see when at work. From there, it is up to them to distribute the quilt. From what I hear they are super picky about who the recipient is. Which is nice to hear. It may be a newborn that they've bonded with, or a mom or dad they bonded with. It may not be the sickest newborn, but one that is special to them for whatever reason.
Speaking of this. I probably should get off my butt and make another for them. Usually I make one a season, but I'm a little behind!
