Charity quilting is one of the most generous things a quilter can do — but there are rules, mistakes, and tricks most quilters never hear about. In today's episode, The Opinionated Quilter breaks down everything you need to know before donating your next quilt.
In this video, I cover:
✅ Why you should NEVER use "leftover" or low-quality fabric for charity quilts
✅ The exact reason Project Linus rejects certain blankets (and how to avoid it)
✅ Fabric rules for Quilts of Valor, Project Linus, and other charity programs
✅ My favorite easy, fast patterns for charity quilts (Bella Rosa, Night Light, Egg Rolls, Biscotti, and more!)
✅ The "Franken Batting" trick that saves serious money — sewing batting scraps together on a serger so no one can tell it was ever pieced
Whether you're new to charity quilting or you've donated dozens of quilts, these tips will help you work faster, save money, and make sure your quilts actually get used by the organizations that need them.
