I want to attempt to make a quick quilt that will fit the bottom part of a casket. I have looked online but not finding what I need. Has anyone ever made one?

A full size quilt looks lovely over the top and I've often seen this done. Recently, a lady in our area passed who was an avid quilter. They had several of her quilts draped around the casket and flowers. In her hand was a block for a quilt ... the last block for a quilt she had been working on. How touching!! The block will not be buried with her, and someone will be finishing the quilt she was so closed to completing. |
I used a 'lap size' quilt for my mom's casket. It was folded in half and draped over the bottom half of the casket. Then when we went to the graveside service it was draping the entire casket. She had fallen in love with this quilt and it was the last one I made before her passing.
the quilt was a simple five fabric quilt of yellows and bluess and white and sparkled in the sunlight. It really brightened my mood. |
My daughter had a baby who died the first day. The little casket was only the size of a tissue box. I made a little quilt to drape the entire casket as it was very plain. The quilt was buried with the casket. I also made a matching quilt for my daughter to keep.

Wow, what a great idea! Thanks for the inspiration.

I was hoping to make a smaller type quilt to cover the outside part of the casket that stays closed. I did make a lap quilt that was placed on my mothers casket (folded). For the sake of time, wanted to make something quick and a bit smaller than a lap size.
