I agree 100%! If you are going to give something to someone, make it the best you can. I have heard people say that if it is too pretty, it will be stolen to be sold. Well, doggone it, until that time as it is stolen, have the loveliest quilt I can make. I cannot control people, but I can use some control on what I donate to charity.
Our quilt group in Hugo, OR strives to use the best available supplies and never to give something that is subpar. Charity giving does not mean trash dumping.
