Quilts and Afghans:
Cloth, knitted, crocheted (from 24"-45" sq.; 45"x60" for larger quilts).
How used:
Everyone can appreciate the warm, secure feeling a quilt can provide, especially when facing an unpleasant experience. Whether many hours are spent on making a quilt or whether the quilt is made in a matter of minutes, quilts quickly become security blankets or binkies when an adult or child is under stress. Quilts can be sewn, crocheted, or knitted. They can be just about any size, depending on the intended use of the quilt. Small, 24" square quilts are a good size for preemie babies; mid-sized 36" square quilts are a good size for toddlers. Larger quilts, 45" x 60" for instance, are better for older children or adults.
