Looking for memory/photo quilt pattern

You can do a search on the internet for free patterns. Here is one website I found:http://www.freequiltpatterns.info/Qu...ltPatterns.htm and there were others listed for the query.

I realize blue and green is a somewhat unusual color combination, but they were our high school colors.


I've attached close-ups of a couple of the individual blocks so you can see what I mean. The size of the quilt just evolved as I worked with the pictures I wanted to use. It turned out 64" X 66.5".

Gramajo, love this quilt! The picture collages are a great idea--you can use so many more pictures this way! Might have to try this.

thanks for all the suggestions and especially the pictures! that helps more than anything trying to decide a layout and style

It was a lot of fun making this quilt--brought back a lot of memories. We've been friends for 56 years. Her daughter emailed me a lot of pictures: I had more from my photo albums. I kinda themed each collage--her parents, brothers, her young; his family pictures from a child; her wedding pictures; pictures of her son and daughter individually and together and with my kids; party pictures from our misspent youth.

Go for it, Red Rover, you'll have a great time doing it.

Answered you over in the ISO area, posted some pics and link to a book.
Regards,
Kif

These quilts are all wonderful! It's fun to set photos on fabric and then quilt them. I usually try to set them in eras....
Childhood photos, HS, Wedding, etc.

Oh My! All of these are great memory quilts!!

Gramajo...this is the post I saw :) Thanks! Kim

Here is my Memory quilt I did not long ago. I didn't have a pattern...the math and design was a challenge but fun too. http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...n-t203744.html

Here is mine! I think.
