We donate these quilts to 2 hospices, a cancer support center and a cancer treatment center. Most of these people are fighting for their lives and when the quilts are passed out, patients usually get to pick ones they like. These quilts become their personal property and are brought back daily, weekly or monthly depending on treatment schedules. They are heavily used and one member in our group has a husband fighting cancer. She said it felt so good to go into the treatment center and see patients wrapped in our quilts. So we want to make sure our quilts are pretty, well-made and will last the duration.
