Prayers & Squares is primarily a prayer ministry.  Each chapter must agree to

THREE COMMANDMENTS:

1.  Remember the Prayers & Squares  Motto:  “It’s not about the quilt, it’s all about the prayers.”  Our goal is to encourage and involve as many people as possible to participate in the prayer effort, not merely to make and give away quilts.

2.  Before tying a prayer quilt for an individual, that person must have agreed to accept the gift of prayer in the form of a quilt.  (In the case of a child, or if the person in need of prayers is unable to communicate, a loved one may do this.)

3.  No payment can ever be accepted for a prayer quilt.  It cannot be sold; it is a gift.  Neither the person who receives the quilt, nor the person who requests a quilt for another should be obligated to Prayers & Squares in any way.
