I think you have a great idea, and I wished I had had it a few years ago. I made a baby quilt for every baby/toddler in my church and gave them to the moms. I could not believe the responses I got. One even refused it (she had sooo many blankets already, I should just "pass it on") I don't think that only one out of all the moms I gave one to ( I think I made about 10 or 12 quilts) was very greatful or overly happy to get a quilt from me. It taught me something-I'm not bitter or anything, but I am very careful now who I give anything to. Quilting is not a cheap hobby and if the gift isn't appreciated or used, it is a waste of money. ( I think)
