What is a Fidget Quilt?

What is a fidget quilt?

A small quilt made with different textured cloths and often adorned

with buttons, zippers, or other objects to help

busy the nervous hands of an Alzheimer’s or

dementia patient.

     I decided to make one for a friend of mine as a Christmas Present.  The race car was donated by his grandson-the wheels turn making it good for nervous fingers. 

     I'm not much of a "sewer"  but making the quilt was a lot of fun.  I guess I love all machines and all things mechanical.
 

     There are two pockets-one with Velcro and the other with a working zipper  The bolt and nuts can move up and down the shaft but I flattened  the end so they can't come off.

The little tiger has Velcro on each paw enabling it to "leap" on and off the quilt!
