"It might be nice for these children to have personalized blankets," said Sally McClintock, a retired educator and the board president of Linking All Types of Teachers to International Cross-Cultural Education or LATTICE, a group of MSU graduate students and educators. Members went to The Quilt Depot, a Lansing store that sells fabrics and supplies, to see if they could receive discounted materials.

The Quilt Depot already had some quilts because the store's employees and customers donate blankets year-round.
