So I spent 6 weeks this summer with my sweet MotherInLaw after my FatherInLaw passed. While I was with her I showed her all the tops I had finished and also finished the four above while I was at her house. Each time I finished one I showed her. When I laid out the purple/flowers she just sighed and said, "Oh I want to be buried with that one." I was shocked and of course said it was hers!! OR... I'd make her a special quilt I had planned from the cut off flying geese ears. I came home from Idaho the middle of August and quickly finished the geese parts on my last 8 quilts. Then made two more blocks so I'd have 25 for a 5x5 setting. I sashed her quilt in the fabrics of the one she wanted to be buried with. The tags on her quilt and the grandchildren quilts will now say "Grandma will forever have a piece of your quilt and you will always have a piece of hers." I will mail it to her Monday.
