I agree with Willowwind, the people who receive theses quilts are SO greatfull they couldn't care less if the seams are 1/4 or 5/8
I sew for charity as I love scrap quilts,my friends know this and give me lots of off cuts. I will admitted I practice my frame quilting on these quilts. When making these quilts I stay away from using too many light colours as I don't think these quilts would get washed very often
