I made my MIL a photo quilt for mothers day this year. It has all the family. she loved it. We hung it on the wall for her and she said she loves seeing her family that way. it has them, their kids and spouses, grandkids and great-grandkids.

this is the back, I hand quilted around each picture, the grandkids pics were smaller, so I hand quilted twice around them.

you are such a good DIL! Your photos look like they came out very clear, what fabric/technique did you use?

That is fantastic...I am very impressed with the quality of the photograph blocks, they have come out really clear, some I have seen have been quite blurry...Well done!!! :D
