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...
