Thank you for all your nice comments. I started quilting as a way to "give back" and had no idea quilting would become so addictive. Ha! I am now working on a quilt for me (a Bargello) finally.
The quilts above are probably about a small Lap size (40" x 45") so they can also be used for those in wheelchairs. I am working on a few more (to be posted later) and one is 38" x 68". I get a lot of joy doing this and hope the residents enjoy using them as much as I enjoy making them. The Manager said they can use lap & twin size and need them year round.

Jingle I know our quilt guild donates to Wounded Warriors (military men and women that have been wounded). Project Linus which gives blankets to children's hospitals. Check out local charities in and around you there is always a need for a warm blanket full of love to someone in need. If that doesn't work you can send them my way and I will make sure they get used...lol
