You could make a picture quilt and use the fabric you pick up along the way too.

Putting all those different size blocks into a quilt would make me nuts!

what a nice offer. Don't think we will make it to Calif. Thanks

LOL Guess when you said "out West" I assumed you meant all the way out west :)

I saw an idea, not sure if it was here or somewhere else. The couple buys a pattern at the first store and then on the rest of the trip they buy the fabric to make the pattern.

I thought it was a great idea.

Do you know why these are quilt blocks of the states? The three I clicked on were stars, and other traditional designs, but I didn't see anything that particularly depicted THAT state.

Maybe you could find some cool pins to pin on a quilt? Also another idea is to collect postcards and then transfer them to fabric for quilt blocks

I'd pick up "I spy" fabrics along the way that remind me of the trip.
