These are lovely, and will keep her memory alive for several
more generations.
I've wanted to do things like this, but have no one around here
to question how long the printing job will last, and how many
washings it will take before fading out.
You did an excellent job on these quilts, and your family should
be grateful for all your hard work. Congratulations on having such a loved Mother, she must have been a good woman to have such loving children.

Regards washing and fading...really, even though you use treated fabric and such, I wouldn't recommend washing but rarely, and you must keep it out of direct sunlight always. It's not a project to be crazy with and get tons of wear and tear...more for looking at and even hanging on a wall out of sunlight, or draped on a bed...you can always come to the quilting board to ask questions...

I also made background fabrics in a collage style that I also used. Just thought I'd share!
Truly a treasured keepsake!

what can anyone say, your quilt is so beautiful! Exactly what i want to make about my baby grandaughter for my daughter, but i have never made a quilt, so it will be a challenge. i think the sorting of the clothing will be the hardest part. kathy
