Charity Quilt for the Intellectually Disabled
 

Our guild is making quilts for a nursing home that has a ward for intellectually-disabled teenagers. These children will always have the mental capacity of a one-year old. Everything in the ward is gray so the nursing home requested quilts for the cribs that were cheerful. They hope to make the ward more colorful for visiting family and staff. Here is a disappearing nine-patch quilt with a bright raw-edge applique flower that I made for them.

Aw, what a wonderful project. I love the quilt you've made. I know it will definitely bring a little cheer.

What a thoughtful request on the nurses parts as well.

They are going to love that beautiful quilt. The appliqued flower is perfect & the quilting is outstanding. Thanks for making the quilt for them.

That is an awesome way to bring color in, although why they wouldn’t have color for children like that is just beyond me. Hopefully you all will provide what they are lacking.

great quilt! it sure fits the theme

Very pretty colors. Even 1 yr. olds like colors. Lots of things in life I don't get.

That will definitely brighten things up. Nice job.

It must be very difficult dealing with a teenager with only a 1-year-old's intelligence. How unfortunate! We must count our blessings.

And the flower makes us all smile!

This will bring great joy and color to their day!

Sweet of you to make a cheerful quilt for them! :)

That may cause a riot! Every child will want that one. It is so pretty and joyful.

Beautiful work. There are so many caring ways to share sewing and quilting skills. And God Bless them who receive them.

That is very nice and calming.

That is so cheerful! How kind you are!

Kudos to your thoughtfulness. Wonderful quilt, by the way.

Love your quilt. It will definitely brighten the children's ward. Bless you for making such a wonderful gift!

First of all, thank you for your guild's participation is such a project. There are not many around that do this service. The quilt is so cute and so bright and cheerful that it will bring joy to some young person. Again thank you.

What a wonderful group you have. The quilts will do so much to brighten the ward. Yours is lovely.

what size do you make them.? Are the "children" in big cribs or open side beds?

There are three sizes of crib mattresses. Here is the information that we were given for size:

Twin 52" x 76"
Mid Twin 34" x 56"
Crib 27" x 45"

I made mine for the Mid Twin size.

Beautiful and colorful quilt. That will brighten up the ward and make it a little more cheery.
