I did one years ago for my parents 50th anniversary. I got the idea from one I saw that someone had done for their parents. I put on the outline of our state with the 13 stars in it; the state bird (cardinal); my mom loved crosswords and both were ham operators, so I did their call sign in crossword fashion; one of my sisters did pictures of our grandparents and they were incorporated in it; my sister found their engagement announcement so that went on it and I had all my siblings, spouses and my parents siblings write something on the sashing. I now have it since my parents are now both gone. My mom was on her hands and knees going over every single block when they got it. 4 of the 6 of us put in pictures of of ourselves or a hobby. They had a cat so I put it on a corner on point; the blocks on the side I put in sideways so you didn't have to crane your neck to see them; they hung square off the edge of the bed. It was one of the first major quilts I ever did; I "When we know better, we do better".
