The colourful quilts have been made by volunteers across Suffolk and donated as something personal for each child or young person to keep.
Thirty-seven quilts have been handed over by the community interest company to every child in children’s homes across the county. The Suffolk arm of the company has more than 129 volunteers and 14 groups.
More than 4,000 quilts and blankets have been donated to Suffolk youngsters in the past four years.
Cllr Simon Aalders, Cabinet member for Children and Young People at Suffolk County Council, said:
“This is such a simple but lovely idea. For our children and young people, having something that is entirely their own and can stay with them wherever they go can mean a great deal. It will provide a familiar source of comfort, warmth and security.
“Each of these quilts has been made with real care by someone here in Suffolk, and I’d like to thank every volunteer who has given their time and skill to make them.”
Project Linus is a volunteer-led organisation providing handmade quilts and blankets to babies, children and teenagers who need them. Every quilt and blanket is made and donated locally, and is given to a child to keep.
