thank you so much for all your great suggestions! something to suit everyone for sure.
we all share in binding the quilts, on a long arm there isn't anything we can do about layering, thats on the machine.
all the backing fabric has been donated.
Neither one of them would care to have anyone work their machine. I'd faint away if something went wrong while using one of them.
We are a group of 10 or less and we donate to a kitty each gathering, that has bought all the batting that wasn't donated.
I suggested tying but old hands weren't willing to go that route.
Even so we donated 35 finished quilts this last year, plus smaller 45X60 quilts to the fire and police here, and we'll replace them as needed.
Smaller projects will be just the ticket I think, if you think of anything more please add them to the list, thank you again.
