I belong to 3 guilds (like in Goldilocks, there's a large one, a small one, and one that's "just right"), and all make charity quilts, which we call comfort quilts. I'm not sure how all the quilts are distributed, though I do know some of the organizations receiving them. Your question about "would you be bothered" is provocative, but without more information I can't really say. For instance, if a quilt were given to a family member of the person in charge, then yes, I would be bothered, even if that person was in need, because it's too much of a conflict of interest not to have consulted with other members of the guild. But if a quilt went to the director of one of the charities because that person, although not financially needy, was always there for others and was going through a tough time with illness or emotional stress - then I wouldn't be so upset. I do think you should bring this subject before the guild's board and ask about the circumstances if you don't already know them.
