Ditto ... it'd be best to ask this person and/or their caregiver. There are a lot of variables to be considered that might affect the decisions to making this quilt. To add to Joyce888's comments .....
* safety factor, if the quilt gets caught in the mechanisms or if there's additional medical equipment being used
* is this to be a bedspread? and/or as a bed quilt?
* what works bestfor the caregiver/assistant
* colour and design preferences
You want them to use your quilt ... so get them involved, so it can be used and appreciated.
