Our quilting club makes lap quilts for the veterans hospital patients. They really enjoy seeing us come with the new quilts at Christmas. You might want to check with the director to see how the quilts will be cleaned. I know we have to make sure the quilts are machine quilted and the bindings also have to be machine sewed because they are washed so much. A suggestion I have on the quilts is: If some can't use a needle to quilt the quilt they can tie it with crochet thread. Another thing if they really get into making these quilts is to donate them to a family that might have been burned out. Our club does this also. I made at least 25 long bibs for a local nursing home last year which is something they really need. Hope to make more this year.
