I agree with you 1rottendog. To me it's like donating clothes that have obnoxious stains on them. We don't know the situation the quilts are being donated. The recipients are already on their road to depression because of whatever situation. Why give them a donated quilt that is less than and make them feel even more less than. You don't know who the recipient is. It may be a quilter who has lost "everything" in a fire. We have had that happen to a couple board members. Do you not think they are looking at the quality? You just don't know who that recipient is.
