Please share with me past experience, good or bad, and what to do and not to do! Thank you for your help.
Pick a style of block---------something like a 4 patch star of any design. Find 3 prints plus one neutreal that you like and ask each person to make a star from that collection of fabric. One person needs to buy all the fabric at one time.
Or maybe ask for different state name quilts, again using the same collection of fabrics. Road to California, Road to Oklahoma, etc. Have a check off list so that one block is not used twice.
Then there's also the wedding/bride quilts--------where each block is about a household item, for instance "broken dishes" Using the same collection again
