I worked with a group making a few quilts for raffle. We picked a set block, color scheme, and size. Made the blocks then I brought it home and put the top together, someone else sewed on the binding, we all got together and finished the hand sewing part of the binding. It was fun! Maybe you should think about a simple star pattern, if you have new quilters you can add a sashing to square them up before completing the top. We sent it out to be quilted..
