The good ones I wash and take to our local Wilbur D Mills Rehab center and the 100% cotton ones I keep. This is how my mother and grandmother made quilts - from garment scraps and/or worn out clothes that still had some good spots in them. I'm always telling friends at church that I want their shirts when they get tired of them.
