My Jim died suddenly last Jan and I asked the funeral director if he could be wrapped in a quilt. I had made a king size maple leaf quilt for my parent's bed and there were many squares left over, mostly in reds and oranges. Jim loved them and asked me to make a quilt for him from the left over blocks so I made a wall hanging. It sat in a bag for years, never quite making it to a wall. I brought the hanging and a quilted pillow to the funeral home. They placed the pillow under his head and the quilt around him. It was closed coffin, so I don't know how it looked, but I was comforted knowing that my love was around him. I wish I had known about the quilted set. It's beautiful.
