You can make very pretty scrappy polyester quilts. They are very warm for winter. Mama made them. She cut squares about 4-6 inches and pieced them together. She tied some of them using flannel as the backing with no batting. Some she just quilting around each square.

Oops!! didn't mean to post twice.




You can make very pretty scrappy polyester quilts. They are very warm for winter. Mama made them. She cut squares about 4-6 inches and pieced them together. She tied some of them using flannel as the backing with no batting, as they were warm enough without batting which would make them heavier. Some she just quilting around each square. I still use some of them.

I'm pretty rural here and our church group uses them to make quilts for the needy (and we send some overseas).

I appreciate all the ideas. I used to be a part of a group who made lap quilts for hospitals, nursing homes, etc, but it disbanded. Cannot find any other groups like that here and I have too many WIP's to start new ones right now. I would be willing to send a flat rate box for just the cost of the shipping if anyone is interested. I'll see about listing this on the donations area.

We made many quilts out of polyester squares and tied them, make 10 inche square and you will get done faster or even larger. We sent many to the Indian reservation in Arizona and they were happy to get them. We received pictures of the children who were given our quilts.
Charity quilt receivers aren't fussy. Many of ours go the the homeless shelter too. What you make and give in love for your fellow man has no price tag.
