Just finished quite a number of quilts for Linus. The tops were made by others; I just did the quilting and binding bit. During this current crisis the quilts won't be collected until safe to do so, but was told to expect a lot of tops to come my way.

So... before committing to doing more, because sometimes I felt I was fussing too much, which took away from the enjoyment, your comments please on:

What type of quilting do you do on charity quilts - SITD, E2E, allover meander, semi-custom
How much work to do you usually have to do regarding trimming threads, squaring up, stabilizing seams at block edges
Do you furnish binding fabric or just have to cut furnished yardage

And have you ever thought a fabric choice was inappropriate? Not sure the coordinator saw one top as it came from a collection point before it came to me. Aggressive colours and graphics - think zombie but not cartoonish silly fun but quite sinister.

My only serious gripe is - please send enough fabric for binding too! Had to raid my stash a few times. I am providing my time, thread, and wear & tear on my machine. If I am going to provide fabric, I would rather do the piecing too.

Thanks for your comments and thoughts on this.
