Can you make a quilt about 17" square? A burial quilt for a wee one who was born too soon? Our group needs about 100 fetal demise blankets. This state holds the very painful record for the most premature births/deaths in our nation. It is a tough call. Making a quilt for a burial is surely heart-wrenching unless you know that you are wrapping a little angel that never breathed and deserves better than being wrapped in paper. The quilts need to be white, cream, pink or blue - something gentle and not cheerful. Just two squares with a thin batting - binding is not expected, birthing is fine. Quilting is not expected either, just tying in
6 or 7 random places or a tack stitch on your SM. Join me if you can in hugging the littlest angels. I know you can't do a hundred but I thought I'd ask if some of you could do just one. Polly- posted
