I would check with the Children's Home and make sure they accept tied quilts.
From what I've seen online, "Quilts for Kids", etc.., many organizations don't accept tied quilts.
I would hate for you all to put in that work only to be heartbroken in the end! Good luck and Bless you all.
I second the suggestion to check with the Children's home before making. When we made them for a similar organization while we tied them they did have some other requirements on the quilts. We used blankets rather than batting so they would hold up better to washing.
