Doesn't it just warm your heart. One of my co-workers died of liver failure a couple of years ago. Many people at work donated fabric and I started him a quilt when he had to quit work, and completed it just days before he passed away. We took it to him in the hospital and he was so proud of it. His wife put it on the coffin, under the families flowers. I cried when I saw it there. That was the first time I had ever seen a quilt displayed at a funeral, but think it is a great idea.
