    Default "I Spy" quilt for dementia patiens?

    I don't believe I've heard of this before. I've spent an hour or so on the internet looking for references to I Spy quilts for dementia patients. I didn't find any. I've seen references to "any ages", but none that specifically speaks to dementia patients. The most often quilt mentioned for dementia patients is a fidget quilt.

    My mother died with Alzheimer's disease. I can't see her being interested in pictures in a quilt anymore than pictures in a magazine.

    Have you heard of this?

    I had not heard of these. But, I just made a Polaroid Quilt exchange at guild. Maybe you can have family pictures printed on fabric and put into blocks.

    Have seen 'Fidget' quilts for dementia patients, never 'I Spy'. They need things they can feel with their hands, like pockets, zippers, buttons, bows etc. Try googling fidget quilts.
