What do you think if we got the signatures at Grad time and at his party after the quilt was completed? I think that it should be wall or lap size as he could store it easily if he gets tired of it. At this pont he wants to do 6 yr college.

I think having squares of fabric available for signing would be good, then they could re-do them if they mess one up. Also, you could then better judge the placement of them in the finished quilt so that they aren't all prone to just one area of a quilt like they might be if people we're signing a finished top.

"Mother Brown"! I love it! What a nice gift for the bride. Too bad that more of these couldn't be saved. I think it gives kids a sense of history that they love being part of. I'm constantly amazed at my sons. Anything that was "Grandma's" is saved and loved. She was a treasure.
