Quilting for Others
Springfield QU members make quilts for a number of organizations as part of our Community Service outreach program. For members’ reference the organizations and suggested quilt sizes are below:
- American Red Cross Quilts (delivered to Fort Belvoir): height 60″ to 80″, width 50″ to 60″.
- Baby quilts (delivered to Operation Homefront for baby showers): from 30″ to 50″ on a side.
- Quilts for Fisher House on Fort Belvoir: 50″ by 60″ minimum. These quilts are given to family members of those in the Fort Belvoir Hospital.
