A few more tips: read everything here to pick the right idea for your quilt.
Have the guests sign squares, not a made-up quilt. Sometimes there are some you just don't want in the quilt.
If you use the folder idea (which is a very good one), you don't need the freezer paper. Have the fabric starched well before you cut it up into the squares or rectangles to sign. Make the squares larger as suggested here.
Put a piece of fine sandpaper inside the folder.
Draw lines on that sandpaper to show where the square or rectangle fits, or make the sandpaper the size of the piece you are trying to sign.
When they close the top of the folder to do the writing, the sandpaper holds the fabric in place.
Have someone sitting at the table with the folder to "watch over it" and help out.
Good luck on your quilt. You are a doll to be doing this for them.

I don't know why this turned green. No need to click on it. That will take you to the link above.
