When you say, bottom part ... are you meaning on the outside, the part that covers the lower part of the deceased's body, instead of where the traditional floral spray goes?

A full size quilt looks lovely over the top and I've often seen this done.

Recently, a lady in our area passed who was an avid quilter. They had several of her quilts draped around the casket and flowers. In her hand was a block for a quilt ... the last block for a quilt she had been working on. How touching!! The block will not be buried with her, and someone will be finishing the quilt she was so closed to completing.
