Fabric needed for making quillows (donations accepted at each drop off location).
Soft Fleece.
We need soft fleece patterns ranging from babies and toddlers to big kids and teens. We need blankets for both boys and girls. Blankets can be different sizes, smaller for babies and larger for the big kids and teens. Fleece should be a higher quality because the blankets need to be washed frequently. On the Bone Marrow Transplant floor, everything has to be washed daily.
Smaller blankets: 48" With a 16 1/2 " x 16 1/2 " pocket (2)
Larger blankets: Full 2 yds Blanket with an 18" Pocket (2)

Directions for making a quillow.
Directions for the 48" quillow:
1. Cut the blanket to measure 48" .
2. Cut two 16 1/2" squares for the pocket.
3. Using a wide 4 thread overedge stitch Serge the two squares together and fray check edges.
4. Serge the blanket and fray check edges.
5. Mark the center of the short side of your blanket and of your pocket. –place pocket along good side of blanket short side (48" side), matching center marks. Pin corners and three pins along each side to prevent any movement,
leaving interior upper side open.
6. Starting on right top of pocket sew edge along three sides, leaving top open. Backstitch at each corner for strength.
7. Clip all strings.
8. If you have an embroidery feature- embroider a medium size A on the top right corner of blanket. ( The A stands for Andrew, Kyle's donor. Without him we would not have Kyle or Kyle's Quillows:)
