Larger Quilts Needed
We have recently experienced a large shortage of larger blankets. Our facilities have a great need for boy and gender neutral quilts and blankets for elementary - high school kids. Blankets and quilt tops in these sizes and colors would be greatly appreciated.
REMINDER: When making quilts for The Linus Connection, please AVOID the following fabrics:
- Scary, violent or adult images (skeletons, liquor, etc.)
- Religious or Holiday-themed (Christmas, Easter, Hanukkah, Halloween, etc.)
- Complete blanket specifications are here.

Pieced Quilt Backs
For those of you turning in quilt tops wider than 40" for quilting, please include a pieced back that is at least 4" wider and 4" longer than the top. It helps save our volunteer quilters a lot of time if they do not have to find or piece backs wide enough for the larger tops. Complete blanket specifications are here.
