I have received such faded donations for my charity quilts too, and I tell you I am thrilled! First I am sad it happened to the donar, she could have trashed the damaged fabric, but then I am glad she thought of me. I can cut around the sun damaged parts, to make plenty of scrappy charity quilts. I make QOV blocks to be quilted every month and baby NICU finished quilts every month for AnnaQuilts on this board in the "request" section. I am grateful for anything...old, ugly or damaged....I can make it pretty! Jane
