Has anyone made a block for the AIDS memorial quilt?
This past February my father died or an AIDS related complication, it wasn’t until he was admitted that we knew he had AIDS and we’re still not sure if he was even aware. As a part of me trying to deal with everything I would like to make a panel for the AIDS quilt but I have some questions about what fabric might be best (durable) and the measurements (3’ x 6’ but I know it should be hemmed as well) as I’ve never made a quilt before. If anyone has input or suggestions I would so appreciate it.
