I have all the photos printed on fabric ready for my FAMILY QUILT. Today I finished putting on the first borders and now have to decide how I am actually going to put them together.In my research I managed to find photos of all my immediate family members back to all eight Great Grandparents, some are photos of paintings. I have also added other photos to make it more interesting, there is a business card from a family member in Hawaii, letter from an uncle while a prisoner of war, wedding announcement from the newspaper for my parents etc etc..
I have used part of a jelly roll, and I now have the rest of the jelly roll to fill in spaces and bulk it out, but how I am going to handle this part of the quilt I have no idea!

Absolutely fantastic can't wait to see it.
What a family treasure you are creating! You just need to organize the pieces into blocks or rows, and away you go!
My collection of photos is getting bigger for a project similar to this. Thanks for the nudge to get it going and to start copying thos photos on fabric.

How wonderful. I have thought of a family quilt but never got beyond the thinking stage. I have to repeat: What a treasure!
What a treasure you'll end up with. There are lots of great books out their with setting ideas. Definitely take the time to make it everything you want it to be. sandi
