Well I was taught that you give what you would like to have. If I cant give something I would be proud or thankful to use I wont give it. I withdrew from a group like you mentioned. I now donate my beautiful hand pieced or hand quilted pieces to people who have been flooded or burned out and need coverings for the beds to be replaced in order to live. It makes me feel so blessed to do this. Try it you will like it LOL

I just want to give you some hope for change. About 8 years ago I tried to join a group that made charity quilts, and I had to drop out because I couldn't handle the 'it's for charity, anything goes' attitude. I went back to the group several months ago, and there has been a significant change for the better. The same person is in charge, but there are several other women who are helping in the leadership role. The quilts are simple, a quilt back might be heavier home dec fabric, but every quilt is durable and washable. I don't know what caused the change, but I am enjoying working with the group.

I sew quilts for charity and I will not sew with fabrics that are not reasonable quality as in if I wouldn't use it myself then I will not gift it to someone else. I think that what you describe is disrespectful to the intended recipients. I am sure there must be other uses for unsuitable fabrics then just throwing something together under the guise of charitableness.
