Photo Quilt

A long time ago, I purchased some photo fabric for a quilt I was planning in remembrance of my little Lucy.  A min pin/Chihuahua mix (I called her a Miniature Pinschuahua) was the best dog ever.  She lived to be almost 15 years old and when she died it left a huge gaping hole in our family.  However, like most projects in my house, Lucy's quilt has been put on hold over and over again.  Now that I think about it, I keep complaining that I'm making all of these quilts and giving them away and I don't have one of my own...well, I digress...

Anyway, I decided that I was going to use the photo fabric to make my parents a quilt celebrating their children and grandchildren.  Boy, was this quilt a labor of love!  My fellow quilters will understand that as a beginner, rag quilts are much easier and forgiving than a standard quilt.  So of course I decide I'm going to attempt a standard quilt because why would I want to do something a little easier?  Ha!  Oh, and I also wanted to use a can of spray adhesive but that's a completely different story for later...egads...and














I better not forget the use of Wonder Under...again another story...

I chose purple as the main color and used black and white photos as I thought the black and white photos would look better with the purple...here's a few pics of the final product...
