Hi, I'm making charity quilts with two different groups. They go to lots of different places too. I practice my free motion quilting on these quilts and it's really helped me out with my quilting and the nice thing is that they are very well bound together and the recipients aren't really going to be critical of a little ripple here or there. Also, the fabric is donated for these projects and it really doesn't cost me anything to make them, just my time. I really enjoy these projects. I have also worked on some blankets for the NIC unit, at our local hospital and they really don't want anything quilted. The blankets are made from flannel or knit fabric which is surged around the edges, like a recieving blanket. Their skin is so delicate that actual quilts are too harsh. Anyway, that's how it is here at our local hospital.
