I donate several a year. SOme years more than others. I do some for quilts of Valor and donate to several different groups. I just make whatever I feel like and eventually something comes up to donate it to. I make doll quilts for Salvation Army too. I don't have much luck with the birthing method. I am never happy with how the edges line up. I do faux piped binding. YOu can do the whole thing by machine. I do this on a lot of my personal quilts too. I feel like it is sturdier than hand sewing. http://www.thequiltshow.com/os/blog.php/blog_id/5489. Not sure if the link works, but if you google faux piped binding there are tons of videos.
