Yes Nancy, what a thoughtful thing to craft for the elderly. I think LAF2019’s idea for fidget quilts might be a great project for you.
Like Peckish, I find some ideas on Pinterest and Instagram but I also follow a handful of blog posts...A Quilting Life, We All Sew, Diary of a Quilter, Fresh Figs, Stitched In Color, Pat Sloan to name a few.
