CMQ Service Projects

Kid Quilts

The members of CMQ launched “Kid Quilts” in June 2006, when our former philanthropy, “ABC Quilts” ceased to exist.  Our goal with “Kid Quilts” is the same as with its predecessor – to make and distribute baby quilts for the Columbus Board of Health. The CBH provides these “blankets of love” to a visiting nurse program and to the Ohio Health Community Outreach, a mobile unit that goes to schools to provide obstetric care for teenage mothers.

Our quilts also make their way to infants who are considered at risk due to HIV infection, a mother’s alcohol or drug abuse while pregnant, or abandonment.

CMQ members get together every other month for sew-ins to make the simple, quick-pieced quilts.
