I would like to use up a lot of my stash by making small charity quilts. Big ones wear me out and I lack the skills to do them well. And I lack the funds to get them done. So, small quilts. Does anyone know requirements & a good place to send quilts for wheelchair-bound folk? Thanks

From my hospital volunteering days, I'd say that washed or not washed, the hospital will still sterilize them before letting them touch the body of a baby that probably has a weak immune system. And such a thing will be a boost to the frantic parents who need to know that someone is thinking of them.

The Alzheimers Art Quilt Initiative takes small ones. Here's the link. Your creativity is the perfect match for this project, Dotty.
