Default Quilts for refugees, guidelines?

Good Morning,

I am going to be making two quilts for Refugees who are coming to my community at the end of the Summer. I do not know their religions, but based on the regions they are coming from, I would guess one of them in Muslim. They are coming from two different African countries, a man and a woman.

Now my question is, I know there are some guidelines for images to avoid using, dogs, pigs are two of them, but I need to know what other ones to avoid. I want these New Canadians to feel welcome, not to unintentionally cause them offense.

If you or your guild has made quilts for Refugees, and has a copy of the guide lines, I would appreciate it if you could share the info.
