This quilt was made for my eldest daughter, Keri for her 21st birthday (9 years ago). I had a lot of photos transferred to fabric. The 1st shot is the back of the quilt and it has the birth announcement, handprints done at age 4, Winnie the Pooh (her favourite character) and the large centrepiece contains messages from all the guests at her party. The other shot is the front of the quilt and it has pictures of her from babyhood up until she turned 21. It also shows all her various interests as she grew up.

Oh shirley How wonderful. I bet you she loves it. The paper that you print onto fabric is wonderful, to give such a piece to keep, for her memories to be jogged.
Well done!!

I used Picasa2 (free download from Google) and made a photo collage, then cut and trimmed to what I wanted. I also use it to downsize my photos. Thank you for your kind words. *4U

Very nice memory for your daughter. I love the way you have put the different size pictures together. I have seen other picture quilts but I have seen any where the different size pictures looked so "together". A *4U.
