Nativetexan,
There are crossword puzzle making websites where you submit all of the words you want, and they come back with a crossword puzzle. (I think teachers use those sometimes.) We started with that, but the result was too big for the size of our quilt. We did a lot of moving names around to end up with the final layout. We added some words, such as "family, love, etc." as well as the two letter abbreviations for all of the states where family lived at the time. That Scrabble tile fabric was out of the print at the time and not easy to get. We had to buy several panels to get the letters that we needed. Another fun thing we did was make up crossword clues for each name and hand that out (on paper) to the family members. That was fun for the grown grandchildren -- they learned something about each other.
