In my group we did Little Dresses for Africa last year. So easy to make. This year we did Weighted Blankets for Autistic Children. So far we have donated nearly 100. They are very similar to a quilt with the front sewn into 12 panels and one solid panel of fabric for the back. The front and back are sewn together by the birthing method at the top and bottom of the blanket, with the sides closed by velcro.
