    That's interesting. I was thinking of that when there was a discussion of Coffin Quilts. I thought it meant a long, slim quilt for a coffin and I wondered if anyone was doing that.

    Might be morbid but some people might really appreciate it. Could always make up a few and take them to funeral homes.

    So beautiful. I worked at a funeral home/flower shop/ for many years and you leave every day counting your blessings.

    I made a very small quilt to put in the hands of a loved one when she died and I made a quilt to wrap our cat in when she died. They gave me peace to make. I have never seen a full casket lined with a quilt before, but it sure is beautiful!
