Charity quilts should be made with the same care. It would depend on where the charity quilt was going and the intended purpose. Is it going to the animal shelter for dog beds? Is it a lap quilt for a wheel chair where it would need to be extra sturdy for repeated washing and maybe caught in the wheels? How about if it was going to the homeless shelter where they prefer ugly but sturdy quilts so they last and are not stolen? I always do my best work for charity quilts as that is the way I do things but I can see some instances where use over beauty would work better.
