I found a unfinished quilt top at a thrifts shop for $3, and my quilting instructor and I turned it into 2 fundraiser lap quilts for our senior center over the past holiday season. I have 2 other incomplete quilt tops from a thrift shop that I will finish and donate them or use them as a raffel fundraiser for a nonprofit organization. I don't know how to post a picture of the lapquilts we completed.

I didn't know that poly batting would disintegrate. How long does it take?

Let's all remember we do not know the whole story on why this was donated. I donate all the time to those that do not have. The trift stores to some are like going to the mall.
I also agree with ckcowl and dunster. Don't judge until you walked in my shoes please.

I would REALLY like to know if poly batting does disintegrate??? If anyone knows the answer to this one - please enlighten me. I have several "older" quilts that have been passed down and all but one seems to have poly batting (when was poly batting even invented?) ...... all are in good shape.
