This week I sewed the bindings on two comforters from church. Comforters are normally donated to comforters for MCC but if they don't meet MCC specifications, they are donated to a local agency for distribution. Just to be clear, I did NOT piece these comforters.
These comforter tops are pieced by various people then given to church who knot them. I'm one of several people who finish the bindings. I use the self binding method listed in the top right corner of my blog.
Sometimes these tops aren't the prettiest but I thought the first comforter looks very nice.
This simple patch work is an easy to make top.
This second comforter is too busy for my taste but because it is flannel, it will be warm and cozy.

I think the recipients of these comforters will love and appreciate them. So glad you take the time to do the bindings.
they are pleasing to the eye and body...that's what a comforter is...
The Patchwork quilt is pretty. As I age, I find myself reaching for simpler patterns and this one fits the bill. I remember tying a quilt for the Cozy Corner in my classroom. I’ll need to try that again. Thank you for sharing!
My husband's grandmother tied the quilts that she gave as gifts to our newborns. Our daughters loved stroking the knots before sleeping or when they needed comfort. Those are lovely finishes!
I am sure they will both be appreciated regardless. The second one has a real scrappy feel about it, very homesy and fun. xx
The comforters will bring warmth to someone, and that person will love it. What a good project with many hands involved.
They are great comforters and I know someone will be thrilled to have them. T hanks for linking up to TGIFF!
What wonderful quilts to brighten the lives of others. Even if the second one is busy, it will be treasured by the recipient.
Those comforters will bring comfort and warmth. Thanks for linking up to I Quilted This!
Gretchen those are comfy quilts and sure to be enjoyed by the recipients. Thank you for sharing on To Do Tuesday. 😁
Nice comforting finished quilts. The second one definitely has the interesting factor--one could check out and appreciate the different prints for a long time.
