OK,
I am not the only one. I have made 7 quilts out of clothing from Seniors that were used to drape the coffin when they passed away.
It all started while I was working at a nursing home. One of the Seniors seemed very depressed and after talking to her we came up with the idea of us making a quilt for her to take with her. She had her daughter bring some of her cloths over and we make the quilt. After it was finished she would show it off to the other ladies. As of now that is a total of seven quilts finished and 2 working. I even have men working on their quilts. I think it gives them something to hold on to.
