Photo Memory Quilting

quiltingUsing precious photos, original art or mementos and even such items as clothing you can create an heirloom memory quilt. Quilting is special in itself and when you make it personalized then the quilt quickly becomes something to treasure and keep through the ages. You could select black and white or colored photos, any size and use as many as you want. All you would need to do is find high quality photo printing fabric and place the photos in the patterns you desire. Making quilt blocks with these pictures is a great idea or placing them next to other keepsake items is also good. Pick your colors and embroider a special message along side.
