There are a ton of these three-yard quilt patterns available. Good luck!

I don't use felt for anything except for a Bible Story graphic set that was given to me for my birthday several years ago. However I did ask about this comment and was told that someone had made a felt storybook and the felt interfered with the treatment of another child. Don't how and did not ask. Just cannot have felt anything in my stash of gifts. I will take the gifts to her and then leave. I've worked in the medical field over 35 years and do not want to see anymore children that are fighting death.

The 3-yard quilts are what I will be doing for the older kids-twin bed size. Children grades 3 & under will get a junior size quilt and kids 2-4 will get the adult lap quilt as these are what fit each age group according to my contact.

To quilt, To quilt, To quilt I will go so if I'm absent a few weeks I ask that you all say a prayer for my kids and me as I work to finish these quilts. Thanks.
