Hi,
Crazy quilts are a good way to go, but also, depending on your size, you could blend it with a photo quilt and highlight some really neat vintage, historical, or family photos. If it were me, I would make a Memory Quilt!
I saw one done like this at the Clark County Fair (in Washington state) a couple of years ago and the ladies (sisters) who did this found 4x6 family photos, called one of their pc savvy grandkids and changed them from black & white to Sepia tones. They did a 'crazy' frame around each photo for about 20 quilt squares. Then, they used some satin for sashing with velvet squares marking the corners of the sashing. It got blue ribbons for creativity, honorable mention, and mixed media! :P It took these two old dears about a year.
Have fun and remember - do something that inspires you! :lol:
