quilt memorials  

Definition

  • Quilts have for centuries been one of the most consistent forms of textiles used in the home. Through the centuries, quilts have also served multiple purposes—as bedcovers, of course, but also as shrouds or coffin liners or covers; sleep has always been closely associated with death.
