    That is a lovely quilt. I love the fabrics that really complement the photos. And the theme makes the quilt very personal.

    Great job! Maybe SITD around pictures and circles on the rest as it's all straight edges.

    The pattern came from the April/May 2013 McCalls Quick Quilts. Tribecca is the pattern name. Page 20 Thank you for the reply. I'd like to thank everyone for their suggestions and nice comments. Will be taking it to have it quilted. Took a class in FMQ but never really practiced much. I always seem to have more projects popping into my head. My brother is leaving for Fla. in early Oct. and I wanted to give it to him before he leaves.

    Beautiful memory quilt. Depends on your quilting skills. A simple meandering all over would be nice.

    Honey, I don't think there is a question of doing it right. You did a good job and it is your quilt. However, I definitely would not quilt the photographs. Good luck

    Quilt with a simple pattern, nothing too busy. Neutral thread (invisible or a 60wt cream color). I sometimes quilt the outline of the people using invisible thread, but your blocks are small enough that you don't need to do that.
