oh gosh.. if there are a lot of people working on it each can do a block of some kind..the more people the smaller the block... .. make it simple... then someone can sew the blocks together.

Another idea, everyone can make a BIG block to produce a big quilt...

I agree with keeping the pattern fairly simple. Garden Gate (free pattern from QIAD) is easy and looks great.

I would do a scrappy quilt, something simple. With scrappy you won't have a color issue.
