There might be a fan club site that could point you in the right direction. Congratulations on a beautiful quilt and job well done.

I never thought of it that way. I just might have to do that.
When my daughter told me how much Sara loved his music and the song "One Love" I thought it was a good idea to make this. But as I asked around who this guy was all I seemed to hear was he was big into drugs. I was not that excited about doing the quilt with all that I had hear, so I began doing research on him myself. And yes he did drugs but no more the rest of the music stars at that time. But after reading through his lyrics I could tell he had a good heart and it showed in the music he wrote as well as the quotes he made. That is why I finally decided to do the quilt and if you notice I did add a lot of his quotes as well.
