Making a whole quilt takes a lot of time so I donate blocks and/or tops to several charity groups and they make completed quilts with them. For the past 5 years I usually make about 100 fun pillowcases for kids in hospitals and before each Christmas make some Christmas stockings that another group fills for the troops. None of the above are 'required' by the groups.
No one should feel they 'have to do' any charity quilting or donating, we all give or do what we can when we can.
One thing that I'm changing for the new year is limiting the number of blocks or tops I mail to groups as postage has gotten very expensive. I'll be donating to local groups like my guild's communtiy outreach program and Project Linus so I can hand deliver the items myself. Why spend dollars on postage when I could use those dollars to buy fabric for additonal charity quilting? May in Jersey
