I just bought tons of flannel to make my 8 grandchildren raggy quilts for Christmas. When my hubby saw the first one, he said, "They are not going to appreciate them." I said "I think they will." He said "No, they are used to having the best of everything, they won't think of them as the best." Now I am having second thoughts. Should I waste my time?

I love the rag quilts but the first one I made ruined my washing machine and I had to call a repairman and ended up getting a new machine. Now I take them to the local laundry mat for the first washing. I'm not taking anymore chances. My laundry is in the basement and the water has to pump up to get out, that may make it a lot worse.
