Cognitive Therapy Quilts are quilts which are used to help stimulate memory in those individuals with stroke, dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. They go together quickly and are really fun to make.

These quilts are made using black and white base blocks with various items machine appliquéd onto them. These appliqués can be from a focus fabric, or a shape cut from a patterned or textured fabric.  Most of these quilts are hung in the resident’s rooms, but some residents like to hold on to them.
