I agree with you Tessagain. Plus all my quilts are gifts so I wash/dry them before I give them to the recipent whether its for charity or someone I know. I try to think how I would like to receive it and do the same to those who receive.
After my stepfather died I was helping my mother declutter her house and I was appalled at what she wanted to take down to the Salvation Army. I told her I wouldn't be a part of the "crap" she wanted to take down there. Told her to put it to the curb for the trash man instead of having someone do it for her.
