Weighted Blankets
Weighted blankets and lap blankets are often requested. Our weighted blanket tops are made with 4 1/2" squares to make 4" finished blocks. We can also use brick quilt tops if the bricks are staggered and the sizes are equivalent to a top made with 4 1/2" squares. Weighted blanket quilt tops should be completed and turned in to Anne during our monthly meeting.
