The Kings Point Quilters recently delivered 36 baby quilts and 12 dozen caps to Tampa General’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Each quilt measures 36 inches square and is made of 100 percent cotton material and thread throughout. The quilts are sanitized using very high heat, and anything other than cotton would not withstand this process. The baby’s isolette is covered with the quilt, which helps protect the baby from intense light.
When the baby is discharged, the parents can keep their special quilt.
