Yes but mine too was awful. Awful because of the fabric I chose. I have a heat press machine so I can transfer the laser printer pictures onto fabric. I have seen some wonderful ones that use the attic window block (I believe that is what it is called.

I have done two quilts and one wall hanging...I'm now doing a wedding quilt and they want signatures along with photos. Hopefully this one will turn out better, each has been a good learning experience! I will have to look at how to post a photo..

Yep, I have my pictures printed onto the fabric, my attic windows cut out and now I have got to get the nerve up to piece it together.

My problem was quilting on the photos, even the smallest needle leaves holes so you don't want to make a mistake and have to rip it out! The small photos could be stitched in the ditch but the larger ones really needed to be quilted, at least some of it.
