Default How do you...

budget your time and materials between personal quilting/gifts and charity quilts?

I've been thinking that as my quilting gets better and I'm not ashamed to admit I made a certain article, I need to start making some charity quilts.
My question to those of you who have been quilting longer and do charity work is: how do you split your time between quilting for personal use (your home, gifts for family, etc) and charity quilts?
Also, how do you dedicate fabric for charity quilts? In this economy, I know that charities need donations more than ever, but, it's harder for lots of use to get a quilts worth of fabric/batting to give away, let alone MANY quilts worth. I know that the charities aren't really picky and don't need the latest designer fabrics, but, decent quality fabric is still not cheap.

Just curious how you all manage your time and materials.
