I made my in laws a quilt representing them and their four children (Eleanor Burns 'Sisters' quilt pattern) by using the favorite colors of each family member.
The label was an appliqued heart of the color representing each family member, with their name embroidered in a large font next to their heart. How my MIL loved that quilt! She was nearly blind but she could feel the embroidered label with each person's name and see the color of the hearts.
She had cancer and died a short time later. My FIL covered her casket in the church with her quilt - said she had it with her constantly in her last days. I didn't realize I had made a passage quilt, but I guess I did.
