I've got a bunch of cross stitched pictures I made and collected over the years.
Trying to decide what to do with them...options include, putting them in a quilt, framing them for a child's room, or getting rid of them.

I made a keepsake quilt for my Great Niece a few years ago and cross stitched her name, birthday, time, weight, length in some of the squares. My Niece loved it! The picture isn't the best, but maybe you can see the squares with the cross stitch a little

I just machine quilted a quilt for a lady who made her quilt using exactly this. All cross stitched blocks and it turned out beautiful. I cross hatched the blocks and it didnt interfere with her stitching at all.

I've done 3 childrens quilts with embroidered pictures used as blocks, alternated with blocks of white or prints. They turn out wonderful. I've also done several with just a random block or two of embroidered squares. Eye-popping. Use 'em!! They'll be great.
