I think if they ask they could bring it home but I will be making the baby a couple of quilts anyway so if they don't send them home with him it is ok. Heaven knows I have plenty of fabric and may as well use it up for something like this!
I suggested the more precise fit as it seems it would likely keep it from just sliding down and ending up on the floor. Do they cover up the entire unit or just one end?
Sounds like a great thing for guild members to make- we make quilts now for pediatrics ward at Swedish, never thought about NICU. My brain is designing something that would just flip up any side they needed to and the others would stay in place. HMMMMM may have to call a hospital nurse friend.
