Sorry! I guess I didn't clearly state my feelings above -- I'm not suggesting that anyone spend their time re-making quilt tops which are not in usable condition (for human beings). I just meant that whatever is not usable should be given/donated to animal shelters for bedding for the animals being housed there. I'd rather see that happen than clogging up the solid waste landfills with fabric/quilt tops that could be used for domestic animal bedding.
