I finally finished my Family Quit. I tried to tell the story of my family in pictures. It started out as a "Lap Quilt" idea but it grew just like my family. :) This is the front side. I constructed the quilt with the "Cotten Theory".

I am fasinated with the way the fabric is placed and blocks and sashing is all finished. I love it lots. You and your family will have an heirloom here for years to come. Did you print the designs onto fabric yourself?
Congratulations.
Congratulations.

This is a great quilt. I would love to try the Cotten Theory Method but was told it comes out very stiff. How did you find it??
2 comments
Thank you. It is not stiff at all. It is like any other quilt. I love this method. It adds so much to a quilt.
I did a tshirt quilt using CTM and it wasn't stiff at all. It was very nice

This is lovely. Your family will treasure it. I am going to tackle making 10 memory quilts for all my Mom's grandchildren. She died July 28, 2009 and I have her dresses to use in the quilt.

Thank you Becky! Your quilt sounds wonderful. Never thought of using old clothes. I have always given them to Senior Citizens Thrift Stores. Please post when you finish one and all. :) I have used the Large Broches as tie backs for curtains and I like them.

Very nice quilt. I am also doing a memory quilt for my son before he gets married this year. I had intentions for a lap quilt but I think that it will be a bed quilt too!
