(Mary Balagna uses an AccuQuilt fabric cutter before annual Project Linus Expo)

Project Linus, an organization that makes quilts and handmade blankets for children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need throughout the nation, has more than 60,000 volunteers called "Blanketeers" in about 400 local US chapters.  Project Linus makes and collects more than 400,000 quilts and blankets each year.  WOW!  So can you guess how many quilt pieces Mary Balagna, the vice president of Project Linus, cuts each year for pre-cut kits for classes and expos? At least 20,000 pieces each year!!  "We just couldn't do it to her anymore," said Carol Babbitt, president of Project Linus. 

To see the solution they found that Babbitt of Project Linus says "if you are going to do anything on a large scale, there's just not going to be a better way to do it", click here and read their story in our TQS Articles section.
