If you donate to a hospital ask first where the need is.
I got in a situation where they were given to the nursery and there were a lot of babies to make quilts for. I provided 31 for each born in Dec (one year) I don't give to that cause. However, another hospital uses them in Children's Res Therepy Unit. Less stress in getting them made. I didn't want to give just a few and ignore the rest.
Perhaps find a place that has an ongoing program. Police use them, Project Linus. Nother piece of advice or suggestion is don't try and be too fancy but do simple quilts. You can make more and they are appreciated just as much. Check with a local quilt guild. Most have on going projects.
