QUILTS FOR ROTAPLAST  (Cleft palate repair surgery)

The Rotary Club supports a project to take doctors to poor areas to perform cleft palate repair surgery on people (mostly children) who cannot afford the surgery and/or

There are no facilities in their area.  The doctors go to countries such as Bolivia, Venezuela and Columbia three times a year to do their work and fix the smiles of their patients.  They are requesting quilts that will  be given to the children who have the surgery.  You can read more about the project and see a video of one of their trips at   http://www.rotaplast.org/.    They request the quilts be made as follows:

Size 38-40" wide x 48-60" long.  These will fit in the boxes they have for shipping.

Materials 100% cotton fabric and batting, Warm and Natural is perfect.

Design Use bright, child colors and themes.  Panels are fine or use simple patterns, machine pieced,  as these quilts must be utilitarian and will be washed in streams and rivers.

Quilting Please do not tie the quilts.  Machine quilting should be 3"-5" apart.
