Volunteer quilters transforming fabrics into patchwork quilts that comfort children in need.
Pattern Gallery
SIZE: 36” Square NICU quilts or approximately 38” x 45” crib/lap quilts.
FABRICS: 100% cotton (regular or flannel). Please do not use polar fleece. The kids love brightly colored, kid friendly fabrics. Remember, some of these kids are going through chemo, so please try to color coordinate your quilts.
BATTING: 1/8” - 1/4” LOW LOFT batting - can be polyester, cotton or a blend as long as it is a low loft batting.
ASSEMBLING THE QUILT: All quilts must be machine pieced and machine quilted (please do not use mono-filament thread). The quilts require a good amount of machine quilting since they go through a washer and dryer cycle daily. Don’t forget to quilt in the borders!
PLEASE DO NOT HAND TIE THE QUILTS. Hand tied quilts can be a potential choking hazard and do not hold up to the daily washings they go through.
PLEASE CHECK FOR PINS! WASH AND DRY ALL QUILTS BEFORE SENDING TO HEADQUARTERS, using fragrance-free products because of possible allergic reactions.
A tax donation form can be sent to you if you would like one.
Kits are available upon request.
