Thanks so much for not belonging to the "love me, love my dog" crowd. Those of us with awful allergies haven't chosen them, but we're surely stuck with them.
I get periodic treatments in a chemo unit, and some of the people there are very ill. I wouldn't risk it there. I think it depends on what charity your quilts are going to.
Cat allergies are known to be particularly difficult, and I know from firsthand experience that carpet and furniture cleaning can be not enough. Since you have dogs, though, maybe washing would suffice?
Again, thanks for even asking the question.
Hugs,
charlotte, with a "cold" every day of the year
