I have in the last couple of months had several orders for keepsake quilts for kids going off to University. You can use old clothes, blankets, pictures, etc. and have a quilt made for you or buy a kit to make your own. Of course, the crafty person can also just figure out how to do it on their own. You can see some examples in my photo gallery http://www.sweetmemoriesquilts.com/PhotoGallery.html. I also have a tutorial in my blog on how to print photos on fabric with your ink jet printer: http://www.sweetmemoriesquilts.com/blog. If you decide to make your own and need some help/advice feel free to email me jennifer@sweetmemoriesquilts.com
The last one I made was really interesting. The woman chose some cool fabrics for the top to make a really funky quilt and then we added family photos and and old baby blankie to the back. Her daughter really loved it and it will also be practical for use in her college residence.
Here's a photo of the back side: http://www.sweetmemoriesquilts.com/sitebuilder/images/IMG_0321-390x287.jpg
