I called my daughter whose husband is a funeral director in Boise. She in turn called her husband and he thought having quilts to use for small family viewings would be nicer than the white sheets they currently use. When he worked in Cincinnati they used passage quilts which he said was really nice. I volunteered to make 2 quilts for my-son-in law.
Thank you QuiltE for starting this thread.
