Then we went a little further...we took her quilt racks and put some of her quilts on them at her head and her feet. And we did cork boards with pictures using unfinshed blocks to cover up the boards. Everyone from both of our quilt groups loved the way my sister and I decided to do things. And Mama would have been proud of us!!!!
Sorry for your lost. What a beautiful thing to do and yes I am sure your mama was proud of all of you. We quilters love to gift our quilts and love to show and tell so this was a perfect thing to do! Love the idea.
