I think anything you decide will be appreciated. When we lost my nephew in an accident I made quilts with his clothes for my sister and her family. I did 2 that were Jacob's ladder pattern (his name is Jacob) then I did 5 that were simple 6" square blocks. That kept the shirts looking like his shirts more, I wanted to be sure to keep him visible. I did purchase some filler fabric Good luck and I am sure your efforts will be appreciated
