Volunteer quilters transforming fabrics into patchwork quilts that comfort children in need.
Pattern Gallery
CURRENTLY, WE HAVE A GREAT NEED FOR QUILTS FOR TEEN-AGE BOYS. Stick to the same size, approximately 38” x 45”, or use one of our patterns on this page. Remember, they are “comfort” quilts. If they are too large, we cannot ship them.
SIZE: Approximately 38” x 45” lap quilts.
PATTERN: You can use one of our patterns below or a pattern of your choosing. Applique quilts are accepted as long as they are done by machine (satin-stitch, tight zig-zag, or blanket stitch).
FABRICS: 100% cotton (regular or flannel). Please do not use polar fleece. The kids love brightly colored, kid friendly fabrics and appreciate color-coordinated 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.
A tax donation form can be sent to you if you would like one.
Kits are available upon request.
When completed, ship to:
