I have heard of one Guild who makes them 156" long (forget the width) .... mammoth, right?
Better to know up front than to have a disappointment for yourself when they say, it won't work for them!
156 cm would be approx 61 inches long

I think whatever you choose will be appreciated so much. The nurses at the hospital where my mom was, put a quilt over her before we were let back in the room to say our good byes. I don't remember the pattern that much just that it made me feel better to see mom like that, rather than in the hospital gown and lite weight blankets.
What a great thing for you to do.

Jane, do you know the measurements on the quilts? If I remember correctly, they're narrower and longer than a typical quilt. Thanks.

I made a lap quilt for my Mother with family pictures. It was on a stand by her casket, could have been on top of the casket , I guess, but it was a great conversation piece for everyone. Pictures of her at a younger age and pictures of her children as they grew. It was very special.
