It depends upon who the recipient will be. For citizensam.org (for critically wounded troops), they are as specified, 48"x78", wide enough for a gurney or stretcher. Make them approx. 40"x40" for lap robes for rest homes, about 45"x60" for kids quilts, smaller for babies.

I generally go with the fabric, since mine aren't actually quilts. 45 x 60 or 45 x 72 depending on kids or adults.
|
Usually 40x60 and they are generally made up out of the off-cuts of the quilts that I've made. They look bright and scrappy.I made one specifically with all Australian wildflowers in memory of my mum and gave it to the palliative care hospital that nursed her. Other than that, they are always quick and scrappy.

I'm going to be making 45x45 (give or take a bit for the selvage). I have a friend that is going on a mission trip to South Dakota and will be taking them to the Indian Reservation.
Figured that would be a good size for the babies and I also don't have to worry about piecing the backing. Still haven't totally decided what to use warm and white/natural or flannel. Most of these will be going to places where it gets below zero in the winter time. Also, just wanted to say who proud I am of everyone that does this generous thing for others. What a blessing!!! Keep up the good work. |
made about 60 that were 60 x 75 and a mess of crib sized quilts (45 x 60)
