Most years, up to 2019, members of BMFQ chose a charity to support
 Then COVID-19 came along ...

  QFOs (Quilts For Others) - the Production Line

Our ‘Production Line’ has been an on-going effort which produces completed quilts to send off for local needs and the 'Very Snuggly Quilts' program

Unwanted blocks     or quilt tops     or fabric     or batting? 

Donate them and we'll complete the quilts and send them on to a good cause - it's these donations that keep our 'Production Line' moving along!
 

Donations?   Queries?   Have you made a quilt top but need batting and/or backing fabric to complete your QFO?

See Tineke at a meeting

 

Very Snuggly Quilts

Up to March 2020, Victorian Quilters Inc organised for around 170 quilts every month to be delivered into the Wards to children at the Royal Children's Hospital, and to the Monash Medical Centre.
Quilts are a gift to patients with a life threatening illness, aged between a few days old to their early twenties.
COVID-19 stopped those deliveries; they only started up again December 2022.
Across those 32 months, people were still making & donating VSQs so Vic Quilters & member groups found other local good causes, including
BackPacks 4 Vic Kids.

Each child takes their quilt home

 What size? 

There is wriggle room, but this is a guide for square or rectangular quilts

Baby:                                     30" square      30" x 36"

Toddler:                                 36" square      36" x 42"

Kids / most popular size:       40" square      40" x 48"

Teens / biggest                      50" square      50" x 60"
