The center was closed on Monday so there were a lot of patients on this particular Tuesday. I assume this treatment facility is arranged like most others. One side of the area was tinted window so it is bright and the area, though large, wasn't crowded. I didn't count, but there are at least 50 "stations" with one recliner for the patient and one side chair for a friend or family member. Because of the holiday this place was packed! My niece said she had never seen it so crowded. Now to the point of my comment: At least 90% of the patients were women. Not that a man wouldn't appreciate a quilt. I saw no "chemo quilts". On one end of the room there is a coffee station, and a table where jigsaw puzzles are worked. To one side of the table there are two warmers. They hold the cotton blankets that are warming and waiting for use by the patients. During our time there my niece asked twice for a warm blanket as it was particularly chilly in the therapy room that day. Looks like I'm in the same boat with Kwiltr. I don't know what a "chemo" quilt is. From my recent experience I don't think it's to be taken litterally as I did! I will be interested to hear your replies to Kwiltr,too.
