I will try to help finding it. Yes there is no batting since it is pretty hot on Uganda.

Here is the link! Sorry you did not find the ttt post;>)

If you send Jan a private message, she will email you directly and give you more information based on your questions.

I will add the other posts related to the quilt project. I always save the links so I can go back and reread if I need more information...old brain and I forget what I read earlier;>)

Not stupid at all! And how lucky you are to have commercial machinery--I'm a little jealous!

Yes from what I understand it is 2 layers of cotton with no batting in between. Where are you Jenny and can I be your new best friend, does the direction of the seams really matter all that much in the grand scheme of things.

Hi there - I see you have all your answers. I am making a quilt for Uganda. A real learning curve as I have never made one before. Good luck and I envy you with all your wonderful machines. Hugs Sarah.

Sorry, but I thought I also added the links for you to click on to go to the original posts, like DRRO has done for you in her answer below.
But
YES, just two layers of cotton, no batting.

It is very hot in Uganda so these are going to serve more as a coverlet and will give each child something they can call their own.
Colour preferences would be vibrant, the kind children love, but remembering that these will get dirty and are unlikely to be washed regularly, the 'darker' vibrant colours would be more suitable than pastels.

African animals or motifs or things recognisable to these children would also be more preferable than our domesticated dogs n cats, etc.

I have added the link to the original post underneath this message, please click on it to open.
Hugs n roses, Meganne
PS, thanks for being persistent. :-)))

Oh Jennienore, I'm so sorry you missed, or we missed you, or whatever happened! We would LOVE to have your help! A two layer quilt is just exactly what you were thinking. It's just a quilt without the batting, because it is so warm in Uganda, the kids don't actually need the warmth. The purpose of these quilts is to provide comfort, maybe a little weight over the shoulder for sleeping. Mostly cotton, colorfast, lightweight. Not much quilting is needed. The colors need to be medium or bright, trying to avoid the whites and blacks as it is dusty there, and they won't be washing in clear water. The size is relatively small, for 2-10 year olds, a cuddle quilt, in the 42"x48" range.
And.. they are mostly boys! We will appreciate any and all you can make! The only other thing is ... they need to be sewn with LOVE in every stitch :-) Please feel free to add any Christian designs you like :-) Any more questions, I know I missed something.... hugs, Jan
