    A patchwork pillow would be nice, or even a patchwork Christmas stocking. The quilted heart someone suggested would also be nice.

    Wall hangings!
    A quilt is like a good life. It's full of mistakes, but, in the end, it looks pretty good.

    Donna, Since you need so many what about a small wall hanging making a "spool tree" and write everyones name on a spool and possible birth date? Then the extras make a set of coasters for each.

    I thought of a pieced heart too, into a pillow. Maybe use square of solid in between her squares. That would stretch it out for so many. Or possible a wall hanging... Good luck!!

    How about backpacks or totes? Tons of free patterns out there.

    Dawn, exactly what is a "spool tree"? Sounds interesting!

    Make the queen sized quilt but before binding it, cut it into 9 equal pieces. Add borders or don't, then bind it. The result should be 9 quilts about 30" x 35", big enough to hang on the wall or cuddle with.

    How about Christmas stockings....size determined by the # blocks you have. Then they would serve as nice memory items, but not have to be out all year and they wouldn't get dirty or worn.

    I like the idea several have suggested of framing something ... maybe a heart block. This would make a lovely conversation piece.

    I would make pillows -- print out a picture of your Mom and put it in the middle and frame it with the blocks. On the back, put some family pictures and the story of the blocks. They would be a great keepsakes for various members of the family. I did this with FiL's ties and MIL's scraps and everyone wanted one.
