What is a Linus quilt?
Project Linus UK is a volunteer organisation. We aim to provide a sense of security and comfort to sick and traumatised babies, children and teenagers through the provision of new home made patchwork quilts and knitted blankets, and give volunteers across the UK the opportunity to contribute to their local community.
What size are incubator quilts?
The required size is 36 by 36 inches and must be made with quilt-shop quality cotton, 100% cotton batting, and cotton thread (no flannel or minky –they create potential problems with the incubator machinery). A quilt can be for a boy, a girl, or gender neutral.
