I was cleaning out a closet and found an autograph quilt I pieced together years ago. There are 20 blocks and each have a white rectangle in the center. My thought was to embroider family member names and birth dates in each one but that would only use up 10 blocks.

What would you put in the other 10 blocks?

A line of poetry?
Bible verse?
Great-Greats?
Pets names?

maybe anniversaries?

special dates? Marriage? Birth?

pretty quilting

Marriage dates, an major date accomplished by a family member such as college, doctorate, ordination into religious life.

If you know your family anchestry, where did the original family come from, town, dates of immigration, etc.

Don't forget to leave a few block empty for future births, marriages. I would intersort the blank blocks so they are not so obvious and fill them in as needed.

Post the quilt when finished, would love to see it. Have fun.

Thanks so much everyone for great ideas! I'll see what I can come up with.

I would probably use grandparents names, & great grandparents. Left over blocks maybe favorite sayings, childrens sayings, etc.
