Quilt Size: Requirements are: 36" x 36"

Backing Material: Please use flannel, fleece, or Minky, making sure that it is a dark, solid color (black or dark blue) with no pictures or patterns. This provides a clean background for parents to place toys for the children to focus on.

Edge Finish Preference: Binding or backing sewn to front at edge and quilt turned right side out and closed by hand.

Anchor Symbol: Please have one square with anchors on it. Another option would be to add an anchor applique. This is optional but makes the quilts extra special for our families!
