Up here in the mountain community where I currently live, we have several groups that do things to help our less fortunate or are in a crisis situation.. one of them, is 'Covers of Love'.. where we knit, crochet or quilt blankets/afghans as well as Beanie caps...
Here are my two most recently quilted children's quilts...
They are given out to homeless/shelter families, shut-in's, elderly folks in care facilities etc.

this one is flannel...
this one is cotton...
I love making them and I love knowing they will go to someone in need...
I just started a simple double crochet afghan... that I should have done by next week...
If we get the cold Winter that is predicted for up here... I will be keeping busy this Winter quilting and crocheting...

What an incredibly special and loving thing to do! I praise God that He has placed it on your heart to do such a thoughtful act for strangers in need, especially children.

I use a 6.5 quilt templet... so they are (nearly) perfect each one.
'OPTIMA' 6. 1/2" grid... and my roller cutter thingie...
on the pink one I had to piece together bits of fabric to make a 6.5 sq as I was nearly out of fabric... lol!

Grace. Just beautiful! A gal is making them to give to parents whose baby died. She puts a foot and hand print on them and the babies name.

Such a thoughtful gift and I am sure they are appreciated very much by the people who receive them. There is nothing like a homemade quilt to make you feel cozy and comfortable.
