Wheelchair Quilts For the War Veterans Home in Jackson, LA In case you are wondering, the cut-outs at the bottom are so they don't get caught in the wheels. The basic pattern consists of a small quilt made with twelve 9 inch squares (3 across and 4 down) and the two outside bottom squares are cut off diagonally. The wheelchair quilts measure approximately 27 inches by 36 inches. As you can see, you can use any design and any size blocks as long as the finished size comes out somewhere near 27 inches by 36 inches.
Sometimes the folks who need quilts the most are those in need. Whether you're quilting for a charity or for a special someone, there's a good chance that you'll have to make a wheelchair compatible quilt at some point. While there is no standard size for wheelchair quilts, there are some things you should consider when choosing a pattern or designing your own. You could probably choose a smaller lap quilt to get the job done, but that doesn't necessarily guarantee that your quilt is wheelchair-friendly. We've selected our favorite quilts that meet the standards of wheelchair compatibility, so your next quilt for someone in need is both useful and meaningful!
