I would like to help! I soon will have a LA with a 10 foot table, if I can machine quilt for you let me know! Would only charge for the thread and batting if needed... If this sounds ok, let me know...

I found a website that gives the simple quilt pattern used by a quilt guild for their dialysis center:
"Quick donation quilt" www.stcroixquilters.com/Guild%sub-we They also mention that the size needed is 45x70. Do not use white fabrics. Use 100% cotton or flannel. Quilts should not be too bulky-please use a thin batting. Use any pattern you like or the quick pattern below byJen Lacasse. A picture is shown also. Hope this helps with ideas! |

Dianne Dye of Designs by Diane came in one Saturday to teach this design to our guild. It was suppose to be a table runner and I decided to make it a little larger so my placement were an afterthought. This is really a quick and easy pattern. Diane uses 4 1/2 inch strips. I posted to the link below. It is in her Season 1 videos called Positively Negative.
http://www.dbdquilts.com/quiltvideos.asp?V=Positive I also found this pattern using a 2 1/2 inch strips by Eleanor Burns. Her blocks are called Twin Sisters. The blocks are smaller but very pretty. Here is the link. http://quilterstv.com/channel/video/1255 |

Love this idea. In fact, just talked with a cousin who has a daughter turning 9. For her birthday, she is requesting a FQ rather than a birthday gift......then we are going to put it together and donate it as you suggested! THANKS for the idea!!! :-P

I read on the internet with cutbacks some hospitals have stopped passing out blankets to dialysis patients who come in for day treatments, they have to bring their own. So I am requesting to my fellow QB members that we make a quilt for at least one dialysis patient for Christmas. My goal is 10, so far I have 3 tops done.

The blanket or quilt should be big enough to wrap around. My chemo unit had leather recliners, not conducive to warmth, but if I wrapped my quilt around me, like a sleeping bag, I was ok and could easily get up if needed.

I have been on dialysis and you are cold. I was lucky enough to have good friends that supplied me with quilts.
