If you want to incorporate the quilt theme, make the puzzle pieces into quilt block designs.
Lace strips of construction paper--like the potholders that are made on a loom with those stretchy bands.
When my kids were little, there were a lot of suggestions for inexpensive recycled games and toys that came from university extension. One was this idea gluing greeting cards onto cardboard and making puzzles. Another was to cut the top of gallon milk jugs at an angle so you preserve the handle. It takes 2 to make a game to toss a ball back and forth, catching the ball in the jug.
