    Crib and small lap sized, depending on the fabrics as well as what I have on hand. I love doing them and giving them to someone who will really cherish them.

    I make quilts for injured UK servicemen! They are 60"x72". The last 5 were made from 6" squares cut from mens' shirts! It was fun finding five different patterns!

    In Ontario I do the quilts for cancer patients -must be 54 x 70 inches & must be flannel on back.
    In Florida I do quilts for local children -lady in group insists on specific sizes. I think it's 48x60 in.
    I do others up to twin size if there is a need that I know about. These are labors of love to me.

    I make 6 - 8 quilts each year for foster kids. They are just about always twin size so they can use them for their beds.

    Our church makes them 60" x 80"
    for Lutheran World Relief. We
    meet every Thursday and a couple
    of us make the tops and the others
    back, tie, and bind them. I've made
    a lot of them. We use 9" x 12" one
    piece of fabric blocks. 7 x 7.
    Hugs, Sharon

    Mostly lap quilts in the 48 by 60 or 72, but some 40x40 wheelchair lap quilts.

    Our guild has a significant community outreach program. We donated 900 quilts last year of all sizes to over 20 different local shelters, Red Cross, Veterans and Nursing Homes and neonatal intensive care units. I joined mid year and contributed 8 myself.

    currently sending 3 a month to Afghanistan around 60 x 70 plus or minus 2 or 3 inchs.

    Project linus I try to keep them so I do not have to piece the back.
