When my husband was getting chemotherapy he was given a quilt that he could keep on his first day. Many of the patients stay snuggled under a quilt while they get their treatment. Then take them home and bring them back next time. This keeps germs down from the quilts not getting passed around. It also gives the patients a little much needed love to know that people they don't even know care enough to make the quilts. The need is never ending I am sad to say. I've been making quilts for them ever since.
