I marked a whole cloth quilt that a church group was going to use to cover the casket at funerals. The Vermont Quilt Festival displayed a wonderful Casket Quilt some years ago. It contained Masonic symbols in the patchwork. I believe Betty Boyink wrote a book some years ago dealing with comfort issues that contained some coffin quilts.
