Do you need scrapbook cover ideas?
When my best friend turned 65 I made her a little quilt of 65 different blue fabric squares (1 1/4 inch cut--3/4 inch finished). Made it 5 x 13 squares = 65 I alternated lights and darks so a checkerboard pattern was created. Then bordered it in a navy blue.

When a dear Swedish cousin of turned 90 I made her a Swedish flag of 90 different fabrics (blue and yellow)with 1 inch squares cut (1/2 finished) then wrote a poem to go with it (which I didn't keep) saying something to the effect each square represented each year in her life. She loved it and had the poem typed and had the flag quilt and poem framed.

As my own aunt, also second generation Swedish, is turning 90 I plan to do the same for her this summer.

Sorry no pics--done before I had my camera.
