I make quilts for those with terminal illnesses. Some of my friends have their visitors sign the quilt blocks. Then, at their death, the quilt is draped over the casket. The quilt is folded and presented to the family at the funeral. One friend brought hers home and draped over her sofa back, and then, a quick few months later, it was needed for her sister's unexpected funeral. Now it resides back at the house, on the back of the sofa. The quilt was much appreciated by the family members. Their church has begun making the quilts now tocontinue the tradition.
