    How about the same fabric but different patterns for each one? Tumbler, hour glass, irish chain, snowballs, bricks etc - whichever are your favorites.

    I'm assuming you're talking about high school. What about making the quilt in your school colors? Maybe you could add something fun on each person's. Do you have any pictures of you with them in high school? You could copy the photo onto fabric and incorporate it in the label. You could include grad year and school location.

    I made some big star block table toppers last year for a lunch group favor and the girls really were pleased.
    I do like the idea of a different block for each one, a sampler, good idea about the school colors.

    Or you could do it in your old school colors if they are too horrid!

    Love all these ideas!! If you want something quick - Jelly Roll Quilts go very fast and make a good size lap top. Mug Rugs! Those are cute and you could simply stitch their name on each of theirs?

    Good luck and would love to see what you come up with! What are your school colors? Mine were so horrible I'd never use them

    Whatever you decide, they will be beautiful and cherished for many years. What a wonderful thing you are doing.
    Blessed are the children of the piecemakers for they shall inherit the quilts!
