I couldn't tell you how many quilts I have donated this year....I do know the last one was just donated a couple of weeks ago. It was supposed to be a twin...but due to a miscalculation....lol...it became a queen. But the receipient
was so pleased....she was in tears and couldn't talk...just cry and hug.
I birth all of my donation quilts....I top stitch near the edge for some extra strength.

I personally make 4-6 charity quilts a year for Project Linus. I also go to the annual work day and help either with tying or sewing on labels. I prefer adding a binding when I make my charity quilts.

It's just 2 of us that make and donate quilts, but we've donated over 30 quilts this year, but I don't think that any of them were birthed. Personally, I don't like birthing and would rather take more time and do a traditional binding. The important thing is though, is which YOU prefer and which is easiest for YOU.

I donated 9 quilts this year. 1 super sized throw for a local Autism Fundraiser auction, 6 for the nursing home my mother works at, and 2 for Quilts 4 Kids. All were machine quilted and I did machine bind them all to make sure they would hold up to alot of laundering.

I feel the same. I tried birthing a few and really do not like the look of it. So I bind.

I agree with Annie, binding is easier for me. I did about 3 dozen Linus quilts, one QOV and helped with 3 other QOV's
