I'm so sorry for what you are going through. You are obviously a very caring person. I'm sending HUGS to you.... Hospital beds are close to twin bed sizes (39 x 72). I'm sending you Ditter's string quilt tutorial as it is a "quilt as you go" so you don't have to send it out to a longarm quilter. I made one and it is stunning and very quick to piece together. Here is the link. I hope it is helpful.
