A while back, another Poster (sorry, I forget whom that is) shared about doing Passage Quilts for use in a Hospice Home. I was intrigued and thought what a respectful gesture towards the deceased and how thoughtful and caring towards their loved ones as they begin their mourning.

Since then I've done some research to find that this is common place in Hospice, contacted my local HH and discovered, yes, they have two, though would appreciate some new ones. I've agreed to take up the challenge.

Now, I'm feeling somewhat hesitant, intimidated and pressured in my quest to find appropriate quilt patterns, fabrics and colours that are not "in-you-face" but subtle, warm and the lasting memory that is wanted by all.

So I am looking to all for suggestions and inspiration. Please post your suggestions and experiences. Also, please do share your photos of Passage Quilts completed. Thank you!
