Quilts for children and teens can be designed with light colored strips where friends and family can sign their names. It's called a signature quilt. I made one for my daughter in-law for Christmas, now she already considers it an heirloom, as some of the relatives have passed on.

My grandmother kept my little play clothes and made a baby quilt for my hope chest. Now I'm going to be a great grandmother, and will continue to use it for every child when they are born in the family. I hope my children keep this tradition after I'm gone.

I made a signature quilt for my son and his new wife for their wedding. I made all the blocks ahead of time then took them to the reception. I had all the family and guests sign the blocks in permanent ink. Then I sewed them together and gave them the finished quilt. It hangs on the wall in their home now. It is hard to see the signatures in the pictures but every block has at least two if not more.

That is such a lovely idea ( signature quilt) that I am going to do one for myself. I intended to get 'branches' of the family to do repeats so I can have matching throw cushions.
