I have had cancer twice and had chemo both times. I would not want a quilt that reminded me of my cancer. I already have a constant reminder and that would compound it. Soft, cuddly and over quilted. Big enough to cover me from neck to toe as they keep the rooms cool to cold. Often you fall asleep while getting the IV's as it kind of sedates you so a quilt is great. I was actually making other quilts while I sat there for all those hours so they kept me warm. These are real thoughtful gifts for the patients.
