i'd like to go that way. i've told my children.

A couple years ago one of our quilt group members passed away very suddenly. Many of us attended her visitation and the family had displayed many of the quilts she had made for family members. We recognized many since she had shared them with us at our 'show and tell' times. Our tribute to her was purchasing a Quilt Book in her memory for our local library where we hold our monthly meetings.

My dear quilt buddy passed a few years ago, they ad lots of her quilts around her and even in her had was a quilt block! I put a quilt block with some words from me in with her too! I cried when I seen them. I did get alot of her stash too. I have nto done alot with her stash as it alot of Aunt Grancie, some day I will make a big quilt in memonry of her! She was only 49 and passed very sudden!

I have not seen this here where I live but it is a wonderful idea.

What an awsome way to send off on their last journey.

My mom didn't quilt, but she did beautiful knitting, crochet and counted cross stitch. When she passed, we displayed quite a few things that she had made. It was our way of showing how talented she was. People have picture displays all the time, why not artistic displays.

I have never seen this before, but I have never heard of a more wonderful idea!!

What an awesome idea for anyone, and great tribute to any quilter. This is an idea that I will share and that I hope will become more common.

This is the best idea ever, wish I thought of it two years ago when Mom passed.

Obviously many of the quilts are a wide range of patterns. But someone mentioned a confort quilt for those in the hospital/long term illness and another mention of Honor Quilts or Home of the Brave quilts. Are there specific patterns for these, especially the last two?

I am organist at the local funeral home and I have seen a quilt laying over the casket instead of a flower pall. It was beautiful because it fit the person.
