I precut 13" blocks of white fabric and penciled in a 12" block borderline and sent them to our family and friends with the request that they either use crayon, permanent marker, acrylic paints or sewing or embroidery to make a memory block for his quilt. I gave them a deadline to get them back, then sewed them together and quilted it. At the get-together on graduation day we gave it to him with a reminder that all our prayers and thoughts would be with him as he went away to college. (He'll be forty and still has it.)
