Project Linus Appreciation Day at Scarborough Marden's March 17

SIZES OF QUILTS AND BLANKETS NEEDED

Our Current Area Needs


Questions have come up about current sizes of quilts and blankets needed.  I've tweaked the sizes a bit as our population keeps changing, however, if you're unsure, call me at 284-5606 with any questions. 

New, handmade and washable quilts, blankets, afghans and fleece blankets in child friendly colors. Often, patterns will decide what age group will receive the blankets. Such as a baby pattern, even if large size, will go to a toddler.
Knit or crochet blankets should be made of washable, non-wool yarn and closely woven so they don't get caught or tangled in hospital equipment.

Suggested sizes:

Small (infants to toddlers) = 36 X 42

Medium to young teens = 40 X 54 - 60

Large (teens*) = 2 yards or 48 X 65 or larger

*There is always a special need for blankets designed for boys and teens.
