Have any of you used weighted quilts for charity quilts? Are they hard to make? What gives them the weight and is it washable? Maybe this would be too much for a guild project. But, what a valuable project this could be.

How amazing is that. And such an effort of your part. My sisters grandson has autism and I gave him a quilt I was making for his uncle, my brother. My brother died before the quilt was completed so giving it to Darien was really special. He will not sleep (summer or winter) without it and they live in Florida.

No way is it a UFO, just a set aside for now. Grandmama and Micah make a great team. You did a great job getting all the elements and placement very appealing in this quilt.

Very nice layout and colors. My oldest grand is 7 YO. I try to use her when possible. She loves to work and help, but she's just not able to do much right now.

It is so nice to have a child/gchild help and want to learn.
