I make charity quilts with a 90 year old senior lady friend - donating to the local senior care center - we use fabrics from our stashes, and make the quilts scrappy, but color coordinated with one main focus fabric - for speed, we just use 6.5" blocks in a random or designed pattern. We also use the 'inside out' method so no binding required, and we tie, using thin yarn. My 90 year old friend doesn't have much energy, and what energy she has doesn't last long, so we only quilt for one to three hours per week, so it takes us about one month for each quilt. I also make pillowcases for donation, either from my stash or from newly purchased just for that purpose.
