I still have two quilts made by a church group and haphazardly quilted on a DSM that was given to us after a house fire nearly 60 years ago. I treasure them so much. Yes they are very used but due to the close machine stitching they didn't dare wear out! They will be handed out to my kids when we are gone as family heirlooms. I tried years ago to find the ladies who made them but the group had disbanded and most were dead so I couldn't thank them (again) or tell them how precious their quilts are to me. So ladies if you make disaster quilts, you may never know how much they mean to the recipients!
