Right after you commented, the Quilting and Patchwork blog was absorbed with others under Blisstree, so I didn't have a chance to answer you immediately. You can make these quilts of any size blocks and make them any size. Having a finished quilt about 36" x 36" is convenient for a lap size. Then the blocks can be various sizes to conform to that. Larger blocks are easier and quicker to put together. Use different textures and different patterns for the various blocks gives a nice tactile sense for the Alzheimer's patient. Hello Rick,

I am looking for specific directions about how to make one; what items (if any) did you attach? Are your "blocks" actually 13 x 15 , or is that the size of the quilt? I love you for what you are doing. You title your article “Design a “Touch Quilt” for Alzheimer’s Patients”, but you say very little about HOW to do it.
