this might be a crazy idea....one of our local yarn shops.....makes things like mittens, hats, scarfs,,,, and then once a year the "yarn" a neighborhood...mean they simple hang the knitted goods on fences, posts, lamp posts, etc....with a little note attached. stating something like...."I am not lost, if you need a hat, mittens, scarf, or whatever it is....take me!" I know a quilt is a lot of work...but ...maybe?
