Our quilt guild makes comfort quilts for folks who have terminal illnesses and visitors sign the quilt. A friend of mine passed away a couple of years ago and her children had that quilt (54 x 60") draped over her casket. She loved that quilt! Her doctors had signed it and her nurses as well. The quilt was given to the oldest daughter who draped it across the back of her sofa. In a short time, sadly, it was needed again. Now it is again draped across the back of the sofa. The local hospice group decided that they would help get a quilt-making group started in the local community--so it's still going.
