go to a good cause. Would that work?
2. I can handle the straight machine quilting but am wondering about the
binding. I always sew the binding on the front by machine and then finish it
by hand on the back. I'm not sure how I can finish the binding neatly by machine. How do you all finish yours.
Looking forward to answers so I can order a kit and, hopefully get started using
my stash.
Thanks.

Your blocks will be great, however the binding has to be machined stitched since the quilt will be wash, and washed and needs to hold up.
Here's the link to help you know the patterns, and rules, etc. It's such a worthy cause. :)
