Safety First
When making baby or crib quilts, avoid using buttons or loose ribbons that might eventually work loose and pose a choking hazard to a young child.
Hugs for Homeless Animals
Hugs for Homeless Animals works to collect and donate small quilted, knit or crocheted "Snuggles" to line the bottom of animal shelter cages. Several simple patterns are available online.
Can't Make a Quilt? You Can Still Help
If you are not able to make a finished quilt for charity, consider donating unfinished quilt blocks or tops, batting or backing fabric to groups that have volunteers to complete a project.
Fabric Choices
Keep convenience and practicality in mind when making fabric choices for donated quilts. Good quality, 100% cotton, washable fabrics are the best choices for items that will receive frequent machine washings.
