Do you belong to a group that does them or do you do them on all your own?
What size quilts to you make and how complicated of a pattern do you generally use?
1st I make quilts for my church, they are lap size. They are called "Love Quilts" . They are given to those in the church that are sick, lost a spouse, had a fire etc.
2nd I make them for the community for those that had fires etc. Theses can be lap but sometimes twin, double etc.
3rd. I make them for a local organization call C.H.I.O.R.. They go to orphanages in Ethiopia. These are crib and twin.
Due to the urgent nature, they are simple; Rail Fence, 4 or 9 patch etc.
All the material is donated. Sometimes blocks are donated and once and a while full tops. it is my job, (joy) to put them together. They are almost always tied, due to time and cost.
