What do you do with "cutter quilts"?

I rescued one from the trash bin at a thrift shop. I considered replacing the really frayed parts, but it was beyond my skill set, so I cut out the good parts, sewed the parts together, rebound it and donated it. I hope it found a happy home. I kind of figured anything was better that the trash bin.

I made Santa tree toppers out of one of my grandmother's 1st quilts for all of her grandchildren and great grandchildren. The quilt was beyond repair but I used every piece of it. It did not matter that the Santa's looked ragged and everyone got a special piece of grandma's quilt. Did not know that it was a cutter quilt and will not call it that even now.

Stockings, pin cushions, stuffed animals (bears, cats, ducks, rabbits, dogs, even a pig), Christmas ornaments, framed blocks, wall hangings. I learned my lesson washing and using a dryer -- "attack" -- after the shredding, raveling, I was lucky to have a dryer. Be very gentle if washing. I was young and dumb.
