This is a sensory quilt (AKA Fiddle quilt) for a dementia sufferer. I played around with some simple ITH blocks, adding bits and pieces as I went along. Those not visible include a crumpled crisp packet, a string of beads and a squeaker. I've used a variety of fabrics, but they should all be washable.

These fiddle quilts are a wonderful gift for anyone suffering from dementia or Alzheimer. It helps to keep those hands busy and out of trouble. For anyone making them, Sue's quilt is wonderful. it has lots of different fabrics, noises and bits and pieces to handle. Kudos to you, Sue, for a beautiful fiddle quilt.

I think it could be easily adapted to make a baby play quilt as well.

Never would have thought of this for an adult. Great really for a child also. My granddaughter who is 25 now has fiddled with her blankets since she was a baby. She said it is comforting. She fiddles with the cotton thermal until they end up as strings and just won't throw them away.

Mine was the same, but she grew out of it!

Very unique fidget quilt. Love all the interesting textures you incorporated and that there isn't anything that can be pulled off. Nicely created!

That is so nice and best thing is it would suit a man or woman not at all sissy looking.
Such a lovely idea you had.

Inserting ttriangles and ribbons in the seams is a great idea, useful for baby quilts s well and it could be used on any block. The variety of textures from the flat stipple to the chenille makes this a very interesting fiddle quilt. And I love the colours.
