I have ideas for the design already. But do have a question...
Who gets to keep the quilt once it is done and shown at the reunion?

I did a photo quilt for my HS 50th reunion, people even signed the back. I bro ught it back home on the train from PA to FL and when they had the 55th I sent it to my girl friend I grew up with to take it to the reunion and let everyone enjoy and write more on the back and send back to me. I have a note on the back when something happens to me it will go on to her to keep up with and etc. I would suggest you get it back each time you take or send to reunion. I made a large pocket on the back and listed the whole class names in there and dated those pages. Put a note of someone who would follow thru including your next of kin so they would know your bequests. And enjoy following your family, PS I am also a genealogist. Marge

Also any tips, suggestions and ideas are welcome. I have some ideas, but always open for more!

Thanks
