Quilts & Comforters |
|

General Comforter and Quilt Sizes: Twin 72”x90”, Full 81”x90”, Queen 90”x108”, King 105” to 120” square. Comforters: Larger full-sized comforters (approx. 90x108) that are color-coordinated in cotton, flannel and other washable attractive fabrics are preferred and do well at most sales. Baby crib comforters also should be soft, durable, washable and color-coordinated. Smaller lap robe comforters that are odd sizes (usually long and narrow), mixed scrap comforters that are not color coordinated, and any type of polyester double knit does not sell well. Hand knotted comforters appear more attractive and hold up better after washing when crochet cotton is used rather than yarn. Blue Jeans comfortable/blanket kits may be purchased from Mennonite Central Committee for $12.00 plus shipping. The kit includes 200 squares, 6 pockets, instructions. Finished size is 65" x 87". Order by calling MCC Resource Center (717) 733-2847. Quilts: Larger quilts (queen and king) are in demand due to the larger beds and deeper matresses. Can you add a border to your full size pattern to make it bigger? Vintage Quilts: Be on the lookout for older quilts in good or fair condition at yard sales or auctios. Collectors are always looking for these items and someone's throw away may be another person's treasure. The result of that purchase could be a treasure-store for MCC recipients. Call Yvonne or Jane as soon as possible if you have vintage quilts to donate so they may be appraised. |
