The program was started in 1995 with just a few members creating roughly ten charity quilts in its first year, and almost all of these were tied quilts.  Since then, Comfort Quilts has significantly increased its output and the program regularly  donates hundreds of quilts annually, most of these are now quilted on long-arm machines. 

Comfort Quilts has also expanded the scope of deliverables to include a multitude of fabric creations, such as teddy bears, therapy dolls, pillow cases, medical wrist restraints, doctor bags, wheel chair bags, fidget quilts, and dog beds.
