So if one scans this personal "qr code" on the quilt, it will take you somewhere or not........wow.....too much caffeine..I shutter at what might come next.

I have made a lot of these. Just divide it up in sections. Usually I have 4 parts. Check each part against your master as you go. You can number the columns and rows. I haven't had one fail yet. Have fun with it. Right now I'm planning a baby one with bright colors and lots of good stuff all around.

I think I will try a small size first - very intriguing.

This is the site I use to generate the picture:
http://qrdroid.com/generate/

As you can see, you can do a website (url), some text, contact information, etc.
Then it will make the picture, and you can break it up from there.

There are some marketers that think QR codes are terrible. I think they have some potential for things like this, or for companies with hard to spell websites and email addresses (says the person who runs archaicarcane ) I have these codes on the cards I give to people to give them a better chance of getting email to me.

Love this idea... I think a wall sized version would be an awesome gift for DD's upcoming wedding!

I made one for my grandson's graduation....but I did not have time to do all of the piecing, soooooo I made the code printed it, enlarged it and the printed it on fabric. I had nine messages for the graduate!!! Another idea someone might like to try.... I cannot provide a photo, as too much personal information is in the code I made for my grandson.

I print a QR code and put it on the label of every quilt I make. The QR code links to the specific page of my blog where I've blogged about that quilt. If he/she is interested, the quilt recipient can read the back story on how their quilt was made, see pictures, read funny things that happened, etc. Also, if the quilt is ever lost or stolen, I can edit that particular page to say that the quilt is missing and give my contact info.
