Good luck and have fun doing it.

Thank you for your response and the warm welcome. I was at Joann's looking at them and realize I could be dangerous with this. I am wanting to make one a lap quilt and the other a king size bed quilt (Yeah, I tend to think big and maybe too big sometimes.) I am thinking they probably be washed a lot so I do want some staying ability. I was initially thinking of having the photo put on a t-shirt and using the t-shirt as the fabric but that is way too expensive. I notice they can make them on bibs and are designed to be water and food proof. I wonder how they manage to do that and if I can do this to the lap quilt. I notices the fabric comes in either sew-in or iron on. I thought iron would be easier but worry it will fade faster than sewing.

You can also buy a product to treat any fabric so that you can print on it and then if it is an item that is going to be washed that company also sells a product that helps set it. I can check tomorrow for the name of it. If you are going to do a king size quilt this is your cheaper option.

It was either on Sewing with Nancy or on Lap Quilting w/Georgia Bonsteel that they showed a company who would take any picture and make you how ever much fabric you wanted with it. It was pretty great. If you go with the printer fabric sheets I'd test a few different ones before I turned it into a whole quilt though.
