And while specific children/themes can be selected, any and all stitched squares are welcomed and use for non-specific 'emergency' donations.
Being able to see a picture of that child and read about their medical conditions creates a wonderful heart opening experience for each and every stitcher involved and allows quilts to be custom designed for that child's interests.
There is no charge for the quilt to the family and free patterns are given with specific directions for quilt blocks.
