I have made several quilts for Quilts of Valor and Ronald McDonald House. Our guild provides kits for both, but I've gotten into the habit of purchasing fabric myself. The Q of V group has people who like to long arm and do the binding, so I usually just made the tops.
For the Ronald McDonald quilts, I do the entire project from cutting to binding. I used to do straight line quilting on my Bernina or Singer 201 for the Ronald McDonald quilts (they're smaller than the Q or V quilts), but since I got a sit-down long arm in January, I've been doing some fancier quilting designs on my new machine. I make the McDonald House quilts with bright colors in simple patterns because I don't think the kids care about an intricately designed quilt, they just want a one to cuddle with or drag around the floor.
