I make many tops and blocks for charity quilts and sometimes finished quilts. I am currently sewing the binding on a top made with a set of donated blocks but this one will be staying in my house for my grandchildren. My grandchildren live a long way away and don't visit often so this quilt won't require much washing. It is staying with me for two reasons: some of the foundations the strings were sewn on weren't cotton and the group I donate through requires 100% cotton and on some of the blocks the tension was obviously poor. These are things I can cope with with a quilt I know won't be getting much use/much washing but I couldn't donate it knowing the seams are not strong. Both the sewer and I donate much to charity so she is fine with me keeping this one.
