Quilts for Kids
SIZE: 36″ Square preemie 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 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, using fragrance-free products because of possible allergic reactions.
These quilts will be sent to children in hospitals, to help them feel better.
