    Love it, very fun quilt. I really like your quilt holder, hahaha, its always fun to see the feet under the quilt and the tops of heads. But seriously you did an awesome job, your friend will cherish it.

Then followed the fabric's directions by drying it for 1 munite, stripping off the paper backing, and rinsing the fabric in cold water for two minutes to set the ink. I bought the fabric/paper at JoAnnes, but I don't remember what it is called. Something like Picture Perfect (?)
