Back in February, I read about SAHRR 2023, Stay at Home Round Robin. Each week the organizers took turns suggesting what each row should be. I started with a center block which I had from a previous project and then added enough rows to make this wheelchair quilt for a veteran.
One concern with wheelchair quilts is preventing the quilt from getting caught in the wheels. After searching online, I located a tutorial created by a nurse. She suggested cutting out a 6.5 inch square from the bottom on both sides. Then bind all around except for the cut out sections. Sew those seams together and add binding to these seams.
For a detailed, step by step Wheelchair quilt tutorial please go to Better Done Quilts.
A Medical Milestone:
For the first time in over three years, a Boston hospital, Tufts Medical Center, announced that they had no inpatients with covid. South Shore Health also had no patients with covid. Let us remain vigilant but hopeful that the worst is behind us.
What a great use of your SAHRR!! The adaptation for wheelchair users is brilliant!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
