Recently I talked about working on a photo memory quilt and all the problems I was having. Well, I am happy to say - it's done!!!! I have never been so glad to be finished with a quilt!!!
I guess it turned out ok, but I am still bothered by the photos I was given to put on it... it's supposed to be a high school senior quilt, but to me it's a "family photo quilt". I think because of that, my heart just wasn't in making it and I had problems every step of the way. It is a QAIG quilt and it was definately a learning experience. I hope my grand nephew likes it when I give it to him in July.... I know his mom will, it's really for her I am sure.

Wow, that is fantastic :!: :!: :!:
What a wonderful way to remember a special event.
You did a fantastic job! It's beautiful. Love the photos and the fabric!
I don't agree that it is not a graduation quilt. It is the beginning of a new part of his life and to have this as a special memory is wonderful.
