This may sound terrible but after reading different sites on donated quilts and what some people use...I don't think I would want one. The thought of old blankets being used as stuffing...its one thing if I did it and used it. But I also know where it has been. I feel the same as using used clothing. I have used a few shirts from my closet..but I would not give it to others...unless they had given me their clothes to make a memory quilt...just me...when I make small quilts with clothes - those I donate to the animal shelters. When you give a quilt..think..would I want my grandchild to receive that. Many quilts go to sick children, soliders, nursing homes...not just to the poor. and even if poor..does not mean they want someones trash. All quilts given should be in the mind set...would I like that...would I enjoy rec'ing that quilt. If not the animal shelter is a great place for them.
