Our church is small, we had four grads this year. We average maybe 3-4 each year, although one year we had 11! There are three of us who are dedicated workers when pieced the quilts, and we often have a couple of extras who help with pinning and ironing.
To get more involved in the process--giving ownership to the whole church--we invited everyone to help tie the quilts! Sometimes it is discouraging, when only three or four show up; but in the last two years I sent out emails and then we get a dozen or more women come to help in the tying!
