My understanding of a fidget quilt is just made of squares and/or rectangles using textured fabrics like faux fur, silk, velvet, polartech, satin, velour, etc. The folks just stroke the fabric and feel the textures which I understand is very calming. Its almost like the "blankie" that babies use.
So just choose a block size and make a laprobe. I think texture is more important than size.
Hope this helps. Suzanne

Amazing how we think of these things. It was only this morning that I got an email from my friend who was visiting her mom who lives in a home in Canada. She said the ladies were making fegit quilts for the Alzheimer patients.
She said to put buttons and zippers. I thought you could put large yo yo's like the Amy Butler quilt that is just lovely...I am making one for my friends mom (another friend)
