    This is a wonderful idea. Maybe you could add a little note letting them know that when they need some hugs they can curl up on it or under it and feel your love.

    Good luck and go for it!!!

    I would give a quilt any time of the year, esp to kids who have little next to nothing - it makes people feel special. Also, since its so hot, what if you made sunhats for them from some of the fabric used in the quilts, that way they can have their quilts "with them", to show others when theyre outside. If you dont sew clothing type things, how about buying hats from a dollar store, like a baseball cap or sometihng the kids wear and making a band/ribbon on them from some of the fabric in the quilt. sharet (I just say that cus I have to wear a hat in the sun or I'll pass out -lol, old people, sheez!)

    I use a lightweight batting and give them for year round gifts. Good luck!

    There are certain rules you know...(grinning) It is a very predetermined "giving season" and it is very strictly enforced.

    There are ONLY 12 months you are allowed to give, and ONLY on days that end in "y".
    The Quilting Diva club will certainly give you more explanation if more is needed.......

    can't wait to see what kind of pretty quilts you will be giving those angels....smiling......

    good comments from everybody. besides many people use a quilt as a "bedspread", its decoratie and may make them feel really loved.

    To me the quilts are not only for sleeping on and playing under but if everyone else in the family has one - then it is an acceptance and welcoming to the family. Sounds like they are lucky to "have" you. Think maybe this is what they need and it is always nice to feel wanted and accepted. I say give now and sit back and enjoy the smiles that you get.

    I think this will be a marvelous, loving "Welcome to the family" gift that will be loved for many years.

    Go on and finish them and gift your love quilts to them. You'll wind up as one of their favorite people.
