Quilts of Valor (Wounded Warriors) is always a good effort. Some rules but certainly doable. Pillowcases for Shriners' Hospital, kids colors. I made fingerless gloves by tracing my hand (I am 6' tall, big hands). Three quick seams, scrap fleece. Very welcome in cold weather. Scarves if you have enough fleece. Could be sets to match with gloves and scarf. Small marble puzzles for those that have to stay in bed (Marble sewn into a maze between fabric pieces). Womens' shelters and new mothers' groups can tell you what they need. Our guild donated over 50 receiving blankets and 100 quilts, some burp cloths and changing pads (flannel bought when Hancocks went out of business) and they were thrilled. Knitted or crocheted items (scarves, gloves, socks) are always welcome. Our raffle quilt proceeds goes to House of Ruth, Food Bank, Cancer center and new mothers' group. Lots of opportunities out there. Bless your efforts.
