Hi all,
I've been a member here for awhile, but have never posted pictures. Thought you might be interested in my recent stuff
The kaleidoscope quilt was created for a challenge - had to symbolize 'spring' and had to be our own design. I created the kaleidoscope blocks and frames from photos my DH took - most are from ice and snow on pine trees and weeds, some are from flower pictures. Then I inserted pictures of babies (again my DH work).
The denim shirt jackets were created one day when I had a couple of orphan blocks, and I realized that my stuff is on a bed or on the wall, but no body ever sees it, so I created a line of denim shirt jackets

This is Spring Sprang Sprung - I think you can zoom in for a closer look

I love the pictures you added....great touch. Right
not I am making a Memory Wedding Quilt for my Goddaughter.
I gave squares to all the guests to sign and now I
am printing photos to go on each block. I need to
go some sashing fabric because I don't like the stuff
I bought before. It needs something more of color to
make the photos POP. I hope it turns out the way it
looks in my mind.

Dorian,
just a suggestion - in your photo editing software, saturate the colors, increase the amount of contrast, and increase the 'brightness' a little.
That's how I got mine to keep the rich colors when I printed on the fabric

WOW!!!! Your quilt is really beautiful! I like how you added the photos also! Great idea!
I definitely want to add this one on my list of quilts to try!
I have been trying to figure out how to make a snowflake block quilt without using appilques! This looks like it could be turned into snowflake blocks. Plus I have always liked the look of the kaleidoscope blocks!
Thank you for sharing your pics and inspiration!
