I would decide on a block for each state based on your trip. I would make one smaller quilt for your grandson and one for your granddaughter that represent each of your trips.
When you make each of the blocks, make two. One you have each of the smaller quilts for the grandchildren made then you can put together all of the blocks into a quilt for yourself. When you get to yours you will be better at working on the larger size quilt.
