Standard Quilt Sizes

​

Comfort Quilts

We provide comfort quilts to nursing homes. These quilts should be 45 inches by 54 inches.

CAmp Erin

The guild commits to making 40 quilts for Camp Erin.  These quilts should be about 50 inches wide by 60 inches long (a bit bigger is okay, also).  Here are a few “recipes” that work well: 
  • 12 inch blocks set 4 by 5, 
  • 9 inch blocks set 5 by 6 with a 4 inch border, 
  • 9 inch blocks set 6 by 7. 
If you would like to make and donate a completed quilt, that would be wonderful.  If you would like to make and donate a top, that would be wonderful, as well.  If you would like to pick up a kit for a top, would like to do some machine quilting (batting will be provided by the guild), would like to work on binding, or would like to help in some other way, that would be wonderful. Please contact Susan or Earlinia to make arrangements.  Also, please let us know if you have any questions, comments or suggestions.
