I have told my family that when I pass this mortal coil, I want my memory quilt (designed by me , 35 blocks representing a part of my life) on my casket, no flowers are even necessary. I then want my casket flanked by the quilts I got from my mother and my grandmother - the three generations of quilters.
Yes, QuiltE, I have been doing just that- I think some people think it is maudlin, but I think it is so very warm and comforting. Edie
