QUILTS FOR KIDS

Bedford Friendship Quilt Guild members donate community service projects for a number of community organizations throughout the year. Members use Community Service provided kits as well as their own fabrics and create quilting projects large and small. We vary our projects to meet the needs of our community and the interests of our members. The past couple of years the guild has primarily supported Project Linus for our Quilts for Kids (Q4K). Quilts are donated to local hospitals and other non-profit groups in our area as the needs arise.

The Guild has a stash of fabric that has been donated specifically for charity quilts. Members are welcome to use fabric from this stash and/or 100% cotton fabric from your own stash to prepare the top, back, and binding. We also have batting available to finish off your quilts.

GUIDELINES FOR MAKING QUILTS for KIDS QUILTS

Thank you in advance for your gift of time and talent! 

The quilt measurements are suggested sizes. Fabrics should be age appropriate and can be made for girls, boys or unisex.

• Quilts for Kids

  Teen quilt sizes 45” x 60”,

  Ages 7 to 12 years 40” x 50”,

  Ages 0 to 6 years 36” x 45”

These are approximate sizes. They can be a bit larger if necessary. Please wash completed quilts using scent-free laundry soap and a Color Catcher (found in the laundry aisle at the grocery store). If you have any questions about Q4K, please speak with Karen Kopp or Marie Poate.

Caregiver's Quilts
If you make a quilt that is not suitable for Quilts for Kids or Quilts of Valor they will be given to Caregiver's for the Holiday Hope Project in December. We all have fabric that doesn't fit the kids quilt category. This is not a guild sponsored group, but a way to get quilts to others in need. We’ll take any size. Thanks, Tommi Hall
