Lots of great ideas here, very creative and talented.

My friend appliqued a giant heart onto the center of muslin for the middle strip of the back of her granddaughters graduation lapquilt. She ironed on freezer paper and had it on a table at the party for all to sign. She added two side panels of fabric that matched the front of the quilt and finished it quickly. Her GD uses it everyday and can easily read the sigs and best wishes.

I've made two baby rememberances for my BFF. The first one she had everyone at the baby shower decorate a block that was on freezer paper, and even though she was right there people still wrote in the seam allowance. I set the blocks with sashing and cornerstones. It's on the wall of his bedroom. The second rememberance was started the same, blocks at the baby shower, but this time we made it into a book, bordered each block so he'll be able to turn the quilt pages to see all the pictures that people wrote or drew. The Mom was soooo excited to have them both.
