I donate quilts to Project Linus. If you go to the meetings, you are able to pick up kits that have been put together if you can't afford to donate all of your own fabric. The kit will include the simple directions, all fabric for front, back and binding. It also includes the batting. You only have to provide your time and thread. Our local branch is also a sponsor of the annual Operation Snowball in Dallas. This is a free event for children who have lost a parent in the military during the previous two years. Every child who is there gets to pick out a quilt to take home. Last year there were over 1,000 quilts distributed at this event. Some of the other organizations are a little bit more picky about the sizes of the quilts they accept. PL just wants kid-friendly fabrics in a quilt that will hold up to being washed quite often, especially if they are donated through the hospital.
