Default Quilt as Group Gift?

Every year a few of my friends and I travel down to another friend's house and have a great weekend of fun. (None of them are quilters.) Each year it becomes tougher and tougher to decide what to bring as a hostess gift. The hostess is beyond generous and we have little opportunity to return the favor. I have been thinking of making her a lap quilt with the colors of her favorite football team because she is an avid fan. What I am struggling with is whether this is a good idea since there are several of us. I could just give it to her myself, but I don't want the others to feel I left them out of the process and "trumped" them, if you know what I mean. But I'm not sure it is a good suggestion for a group gift? I could ask them to pitch in for the fabrics, but everyone will know I made it so I am afraid it seems like I am angling for the credit for the gift or overshadowing the other women. What do you think? How have others handled the quilt as group gift situation? Thanks!
