The size can be anything, Oksewglad has posted a good link for information. I recommend, just checking with the facility you are going to donate them to, as to what is best for their current residents.

No they are easy, kind of like a giant crumb block or a small crazy quilt. Just grab different fabrics and sew them together. You can either sew and sandwich or quilt as you go. I did the stitch and flip on most of this, then did a little extra quilting to make sure things were anchored well.

Thank you Oksewglad for the link, I had not seen this one. I have yet to buy minky so may see if I can find some in the ends and pieces bin and maybe try it I think it would be great near the edges.
