It's an activity that continues to increase now that it's so easy for quilters to "meet" online to convey needs and brainstorm ideas.
Research church groups, quilting guilds and other organizations in your area to find groups of quilters who make quilts to be distributed locally.
About.com Forum QuiltersIn the spring of 2007, I met some of our About Quilting forum members at a quilting seminar in North Carolina. We spent one evening making baby quilts for The Grace Children's Foundation, a non-profit group that delivers aid of all types to orphaned and abandoned children in China.It was so much fun for me to finally have real faces and voices to link with the names of forum members I talk to every day, and being in the same room made it a breeze to sew the quilts together in assembly-line fashion. Making charity quilts is an activity many of our members are devoted to, and we hope more and more quilters will participate in charity activities in their own home towns. A large number of our Forum Members are already very active in charity quilt drives.
