A year ago today I started chemo. A group of friends made me a quilt to use. How wonderful that quilt was to keep me warm as each infusion time was at least 3 hours long. It also warmed the cockles of my heart to know that people cared enough to do this for me.
I can't imagine that any center would have restrictions about what size of a personal quilt or blanket someone could bring in. Comfort is the name of the game and not size restrictions. One that would cover shoulders to toes is good and since mine was wider I just used it doubled over. The infusion chairs are generally recliner type chairs and you don't want to get things caught in the gears etc. when reclining the chair or getting up to move around.
The idea of a bag is excellent. I had a bag that I took where my quilt, a beverage, book and some other goodies fit.
For those of you who are planning on making these quilts remember that a gift such as this not only warms the body but the soul as well. Both are important when it comes to chemo.
