I like that idea. At our church, the ladies meet and work on their quilts. If it's a crocheted one, each person, when their quilt is finished, gives a length of yarn to someone else making one to incorrporate in theeir design or edging. The priest or deacon blesses them before they're given out.
By the way, Charisma, who useed to be on this board a lot, has a diagram of a quilted cross she puts on thre back.
