Our church women are making "comfort quilts" They're all new material, cost under $10 each for fabric, batting, and backing (fleece or flannel), and are lap blanket size...40X60 inches...so they won't get hung up in wheel chairs. Many quilters have scraps a plenty, so these can be made for next to nothing out of pocket. We tie them so they can be made in just 8-10 hours each (for simple designs). They're going to 2 local nursing homes.
