West Australian Quilters' Association
Community Quilts
Making Community Quilts is a major activity within WAQA every year. Some members make complete quilts in various sizes as required, while others make just the quilt tops which are then sandwiched and quilted by different members at Community Quilt Sewing Days. Quilts are donated to patients of King Edward Memorial Hospital, Princess Margaret Hospital for Children and oncology and haematology patients at Sir Charles Gardiner Hospital, amongst others. Contact us if you would like to be involved.
Dimensions
Humidicrib Covers
The only community quilts with some restrictions on size are the humidicrib
covers. They need to be 16 inches wide any anywhere between 22 and 24
inches long. They can be made from any material, cotton, cotton/poly blend
or flannelette with a reasonably light batting. The overall quilt needs to
be light in weight. The backing of the quilt should be a light pastel
colour but can be any colour on the front of the quilt.
Blankets of Love
These little blankets are often given to parents who have had a still born
child. The quilts can be any pattern or colour as the parents choose the
quilt they like and tastes vary. The blankets can be anything between 10"
square to 24" square.
Cot quilts, Lap Quilts, Bed Quilts
These quilts can be any size as the smaller ones can lay on top of the bed
or cot and the larger ones can be tucked in. Quilts are given to people of
varying ages so a quilt of any pattern will find someone who will treasure it.
