Latest fidget quilt and advice pls
3 Attachment(s)
Pics of my latest fidget quilt. It's 18 x 24. I donate them to an assisted living place nearby that has a dementia unit. All seams are either double or triple sewn. They tell my my quilts do well in the laundry.
They thought the residents may enjoy a "door" with a surprise behind it. I made one but I'm not 100% happy with it. I put a piece of interfacing inside to give the "door" some body. I'm concerned that the "door" may come off with repeated use. I think I sewed in on 3 different ways. Any suggestions of how to do this differently? Thanks.

I think it will stay on as well as the other objects. What a great idea - I wonder if fidget quilts would help kids with ADHD to calm themselves. I like the "surprise " under the door!

Looks good to me. Nice of you to do these for them. Surely much appreciated. :)

I have never done these quilts but it is terrific for you to try to help these residents.

What if you made it into a window instead, that way there would be 2 smaller pieces and not so much "weight" or "tension" on the larger door.
These little quilts are a wonderful idea. |

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by window? Like 2 shutters on a window and they open from the middle? That would work.

A real door has hinges. Give your cloth door some hinges, using a heavy material, even corduroy or sailcloth, or a polyester shiny fabric. Imagine an old wrought iron Celtic door, with bars that stretch across the width of the door. Fear not, you can do something sturdy and creative.
