Before doing this huge endeavor, I suggest you talk to the person in charge of the home. A friend of mine and I, were going to do the same for our local home, but were told, that if the resident died and the relatives of said person, didn't want the quilt, then the home simply threw the quilt in the garbage. We asked, why, since they wouldn't have anyone's name on them, they didn't give us any good reason, just that's their "policy". Needless, to say, we haven't made any quilts for the home, and instead now make them for kids with cancer.
