At Quilts for Orphans, we focus on making quilts for children in need around the globe. We have two basic quilt sizes: Single (55 inches by 75 inches) and Cot (35 inches by 45 inches).
We often have requests for patterns in these sizes, so we have some patterns in each size...
We’ll start with basic squares, but these can be adapted, for example by alternating pieced blocks with plain blocks. The patterns are drafted to size using EQ7. Where it isn’t possible to make the size exact, the width of 55 inches is followed, with some variation in the length.
We have lots of fabric – both squares and in lengths - at The Hall. If you are able to attend our Gathering Day on the second Saturday of the month, please feel free to select fabric from our ‘stash’ to make up a quilt! Kits are also being prepared to make it even easier to make a quilt top.
Quilts for Orphans creates and gives quilts to those in need, across Australia and world-wide.
At Quilts for Orphans, our focus is on making quilts to gift to those in need as ‘fabric hugs’!
It was then that Helen, wife of Keith, founder of Christian Outreach Missions, said they would love a quilt.
You can convert everything you see to a format you find convenient. Give it a try!
