I was in charge of one of our guild community quilt program last year for the sheriff's office home for abused spouses & children. I picked the I-Spy pattern and bought solid bright Kona cottons for all the corners and approximately 20 yards of different child appropriate fabrics. I prewashed & ironed ALL of that and recruited two guild sisters to help me cut it out for kits. It was a great success as we made over 60 quilts. The deputies also carry 2 or 3 of the quilts in their cruisers so that when they have to remove a child from a home (parents arrested), they give them a quilt to keep. Officers report that the quilts seem to really help with the transition and they are very grateful.
