You all do beautiful work. I make at least 21 Linus quilts each month. Half of them are fleece with a crocheted edge in a contrasting or decorative color yarn. The others are made from a 11/2 yard by 44" or whatever the width of the fabric is print layered with a flannel back that coordinates. I rarely do much piecing. I layer them pillowcase style and then "birth" them. I leave the one end open and tuck in the edges to finish it off. I machine quilt them with a decorative stitch and sometimes decorative thread vertically about every 4". I finish up by sewing about a half inch inside the outside seam. This creates a false binding and closes off the open end. I use childish prints, fun stuff like cowboys, trucks or other male related stuff. Preprinted panels sure beat having to piece and save a lot of time. As someone else mentioned we always need more quilts for boys. It just seems like they are the ones that end up in the ER the most often. I have gotten numerous thank you notes from families over the years telling me how much the blanket meant to the child and his family. For the little boys it gives them an excuse to have something to cuddle that doesn't threaten their so called "manliness" the hospitals also appreciate the small quilts that are just the right size to shade an isolate in the NECU.
