I usually make one or two preemie quilts a month for the Threads of Love group I sew with. I had been sewing with this group for several years before my latest GS was born and he became one of NICU babies. He wasn't a preemie but had complications during delivery and spent several days in the unit. So now I understand better what the items we make can mean to the parents of a NICU baby.
As I work on a quilt, I pray for the baby who will the receive the quilt and that seems to take help take away the concern of who will get the quilt because that perfect baby has already been chosen. I recommend as you work on a quilt, try thinking about the individual who might get the quilt; when you put in the context that you are making this quilt for one special person it seems to make the effort all worth it, and the person who receives the quilt will know that there is someone who cares enough to make an effort to show they care.
