Donor Quilts. Following the death and organ donation of a loved one, the donor's family is invited to participate in the Wisconsin Donor Network's quilt project. Dedicated to the memory of the loved ones who gave the gift of life, each quilt square commemorates the family's loved one and his or her life. The quilts are displayed throughout the state to help spread the message of organ donation and remember those who gave the gift of life. Families are encouraged to share their feelings about making the square and can include comments about the quilt square's design. These are compiled into a booklet, which accompanies the quilt at public displays.

The Wisconsin Donor Network has three completed quilts. If you would like to request an organ donation display including one of the quilts at a health fair or special event, please contact:
