    I do recall seeing the quilt you are talking about, but can't remember where it was. I am thinking it was trough Kaye Woods site. Maybe you could contact her to see if she may know. I made a memory quilt for a lady, in Brooklyn, that lost her DH in the Twin Towers. She sent me his clothing & I used them to make the quilt. I would post a picture of it, but I don't know how to post pictures yet.

    there was a post on here with a quilt that was made with name flakes (snowflakes cut out in a name) if you did the block with the persons name on it that would be even more special for the families
    I don't see a reason why we couldn't do this.

    I really love this idea!! BTW I'm the one with the nameflakes' quilt. ;) I would be one of the first in line to sign on to this project!!!!! 8-) :thumbup: :thumbup:
    I just realized something!!! Next year I will be teaching U.S. History to our 11th & 12th grade students!! This would be a great project for them to get involved!! They could each make a nameflake (or 2 or 3 or........) block!!! :thumbup:

    I would be willing to help get this started, I just don't have any connections to any one out there on the coast that could get approval for a memorial quilt to hang at one of the sites. I also am not a very good quilter yet, but I am a great organizer. If we can find out whatever happened to the quilt and if it is going to be finished then we can do something.

    Although I was not a part of this nor had I ever heard about it I found some information...

    The woman that started it was Amy Sue Leasure.
    The man who took it over after her death was Brian Kohler from Seattle Washington.
    From this news paper article it appears that the quilt was actually completed. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/htm...events12m.html

    I'm still looking for more info!
