My charity group makes 300-400 quilts per year. They are given to those receiving medical services and include babies, oldsters and everyone in between. We also support a children's summer camp for the bereaved. Almost all of our quilts are machine quilted and bound, but some are tied with the backing folded over to make the binding.
I also make quilts for various scholarship and auction fund raisers as well as for veterans. I always machine quilt and bind my quilts.
