    Default Photo Quilt

    Someone is going to be contacting me any day now to make her a wall hanging quilt with her photos on it. It's for her, or his, elderly parent. I would love to see some of the quilts you've done.One that I'm considering is the Irish Chain and another one has diagonal pinwheels with stars where the picture will go.

    This quilt has pictures of my granddaughter in the center of the stars. It is one of my favorites.

    This is one I made for my cousin. Simple by comparison but they really loved it....

    I made a single irish chain for a school auction several years ago - there are some photo transfers ot in as well as crayon drawing blocks (it was for the kindergarten class at the school - each kid drew a picture of their family with regular crayons - and then I heat set the crayon with my iron (using tissue in between as a pressing cloth until the color did not come off on the tissue paper anymore - each block took about 2-3 sheets of regular tissue paper) and ta da - permanent little masterpieces.

    Sadly, I do not have any pictures of the finished quilt, just these while I was working on it.
