I belong to a local quilt group that completes about 60-75 "service quilts" every year. They are donated to local agencies serving the young and the very old. About twice a year, we go through the stack of finished quilts and, as a group, decide which go to local nursing homes, which to local agencies serving children or adolescents. A few are reserved for our annual auction and the proceeds donated to local agencies. It's a wonderful feeling and a great opportunity to experiment with color and pattern that might be a little outside your usual.
