You may be referring to 'going away' quilts the older ppl had in their coffins. These were made by family. Daddy asked me to make one for him before he passed. I did and many yrs later I made one for Mama as well. Probably the hardest thing I ever had to do but it was done in love and with deep respect...... Has anyone on here ever done that for someone you love?
