I'm including a picture of different fabrics that I used for my daughter's quilt I made her. Each square represents something from her life/our life as a family For example, the pumpkins in the bottom middle right is because I had a garden and grew pumpkins Apples, because she really loved apples and we have lots here, the matryoshka dolls because we live in Poland these are a popular thing made in the Ukraine that we can buy here, Curious George because we loved reading his books, etc. I had a lot of fabric and they could choose fabrics they wanted for their quilt. I did buy several batches of 6" squares on Ebay with some children's fabrics to help out.

It's not the typical memory quilt with pictures and all because I wanted the kids to use these quilts, and I was kind of afraid that something with pictures would just get in their way while they went to college. I figured they could take this one with them when they left home and have a little part of us with them.
