In a quilting class, the talk about what would happen to your stash and quilts when you die. Some said they would probably end up in a garage sale, up in the attic, etc. One lady said she left instructions for her quilts to be buried with her because she didn't know anyone worthy enough of all the time she spent making them.

I have attended two quilter's funerals where their quilts were draped around the room. It represented them very well and was very comforting. One of the funerals was my aunt who was my catalyst for quilting.
