I make 20+ charity quilts a year, as well as fundraising quilts. I pretty much make anything up to twin size, of almost any pattern. I work at finding fabrics that are appropriate for boys, as most fabrics are not, or are "commercial", that is in promotion of a specific team or other commercial enterprize. In my area, quilts are needed for people from babies to the elderly. Some designs, such as my starburst, will work for nearly anyone.
A few years back, as "emergency" foster parent came to me. She said that some of the kids she gets from CPS in the middle of the night following raids on crack houses, have absolutely nothing, as no toy or even clothes they have can be safely kept. She said the quilts I'd given that were supplied to the kids were especially precious to them. Children in these and other extreme situations need to know that somone is aware and cares that they are alive. My DH and I feel this is an important thing for us to do.
