I had never heard of this till yesterday.
I donate quilts to Project Linus. Now I also donate to this cause.

My Church has a similar Prayer Quilt Ministry. Volunteers make small quilts, about crib size or lap robe size. We don't quilt them. We put yarn thru as tho for tying a comforter. Then when need arises, a quilt is hung over the bannister in front of the church with a person's name pinned on. After services people tie a knot and pray for that person. They are given the quilt with a tag on the back with their name and the date. Many have been used as EOL. It's alway my prayer we never need to give out one more. But until that day. . .it's a wonderful ministry.

What a good idea, I also donate fabric I will not use to a local group that does charity quilts. They take even the smallest scraps. I go through my fabric and always find pieces I can not figure out why I bought and know I won't use. Makes me feel better about it all.
What is the floral wreath pattern you have pictured, beautiful.

all these people must be really speedy in making quilts.
One day I will find a quilting group It is so peaceful to maketing with yur hands no matter what it is.
Hopefully I will be able to get started on this kind of stuff when I am done with the quilts from my husbands cloths
