I ran across this quilt online quite awhile back and thought it was a FANTASTIC idea!
I saved the photos as an inspiration to make something like it myself......so far, it's still on my bucket list!
Has anyone out there made something similar??

My mentor, 78 when I met her, made a queen size one with hand prints of all the members of her family which is quite large. I remember her showing it to me after the latest great grandchild was born and the tiny hand print was added.
Sadly she passed away at the age of 86 about 6 years ago. Her one request of her family was to be wrapped up in her quilt so that she could be close to them even at the end.
