Any size or style of quilt donated to the Comfort Quilt program will be appreciated by the people in one of our receiving agencies. So any quilt you create, or assist in creating, will be appropriate.
We have a small number of agencies with specific quilt size requirements. I have listed those agencies below, and have corrected an error about the size requirements for St Michael’s Hospital incubator covers.
Here are the correct quilt sizes:
Saint Michael’s Hospital (Neo Natal Intensive Care Unit)
- Bassinette quilts – 20″ by 20″, flannel for both top and backing
- Incubator covers – 50″ by 60″, with dark coloured backing
- These quilts must be able to withstand hospital laundering
