Since I have done a lot of research and would want to include people not living - my quilt would have to have names and dates and probably places. I think that it would be kind of neat to do applique and personalize the applique to each person in some way - Make each block simple with a large center and then go for it. And maybe use a color for one branch and another color for another branch etc etc. But that could take a lot more time. A good machine embroidery project too.
