here are some quilts I saw at the fair last week. the 1st one was done by taking a family picture & turning it into a quilt. The pieces are 1/2 inch finished. You cannot see the picture until you step way back. I was amazed what showed up on my camera

That family portrait quilt is amazing! I have always wondered how something like that would look.

Thanks for sharing!

Was the portrait one Best of Show? If not the BOS must have been spectacular.
