Weighted blankets/quilts?
What do you use for the weighted part? I have a friend whose GD has retts syndrome and I wondered if the weighted quilt might help. I'm talking about the kind they use for autistic children. Thanks for any help.

Send a pm to tngal22 here on the board http://www.quiltingboard.com/members...22-u63084.html. She made them for her daughter and also sells them. She would be a good resource for you!

The Project Linus website has a pattern for the weighted quilts. http://www.projectlinus.org/patterns/. This pattern uses old sheets for the weight. This is an easy pattern and well illustrated.
