Donation Quilt Guidelines


Many thanks to all who donated Quilts at our last meeting.
 

Soldier Quilts

Lt. Col Olbrich has indicated that any size is fine and fabrics other than patriotic ones work too.  However, the patriotic quilts seem to be the most popular.

 

Size:    Approximately 50" x 50"

Batting:    Polyester

Quilting:  If possible, please quilt or tie/tack and bind the quilt yourself.  The greatest need is for finished quilts.  If you're unable to do that, we have volunteers who can help.

Label:    Use a fabric marker to mark quilt as follows:
