I'm liking this idea. You could check your calendar, etc to see what birthdays, weddings, events etc. are important and see what blocks you can find that would pertain. If you get stuck for an idea there just might be a few (LOL) on this board to help you. There could always be an alternative block if you wanted to do the star/house or other chosen theme. LIke mentioned, it would be a quilting journal or diary. Could put on the back the why this block this month info. Fun to pass down.

Perhaps your Grandchild was born in May, so you chose tumbling blocks, etc. Or this story quilt could be anything you want; whatever is important or excites you.
