Wow, that is magnificent. Your pictures are great and your dad must love it. It is a family treasure.

Fabulous quilt .... absolutely awesome! It is definitely a family treasure! Great work!

what a outstanding quilt good job and happy birthday to your Dad

I know your Dad cherishes this quilt....made especially for him with loving hands! Its fantastic.

What a wonderful quilt! Where did you get your printable fabric sheets? Did you print that on your home computer?

What a wonderful quilt you have made for your Dad. Your pictures look wonderful and I'm sure it is very much loved.

A wonderful batch of memories for him to see everyday. Great job.

I have made a few Photo quilts but your pictures are so clear and vibrant! I wonder if it is your printer? You said you used several brands of printable fabric sheets and they all look great!

very nice, what a treasure

Wonderful, Kim!

a very nice gift........

What brand of sheets did you use. Your pictures are so bright. Did you print them on your home computer?

Thank you! I used mostly June Tailor Colorfast sheets and a few Printed Treasures sheets. Before making this quilt I tried photo to fabric using EQ Printables and I would have used them but they weren't available when I got started. The EQ Printables would have been nicer because they turned out soft like fabric. The think I didn't like about the June Tailor sheets is that they aren't very soft. I'm not sure I could tell much difference between the June Tailor and Printed Treasures sheets. I printed everything on our home Brother MFC 490 CW printer making sure it was full of ink. I ruined a few sheets but running the printer on "clean" cycle fixed it. I have also used the printable fabric to make fun personalized photo pillows.

Awesome job,

Oh my goodness!!! That is absolutely beautiful!! Did you do the quilting yourself? I bet your dad really appreciated all of your hard work and like what others have said, it will be a family heirloom...you are sooooo talented!! We must get together and do some quilting....hope to see you soon......love ya!

This is a remarkable memory quilt. I love the deep colors in the photos and the clarity. My photos on fabric usually look so faded and dull. May I ask you to share your method and let us know what printer you have. I am thrilled that someone is able to get this kind of result. Lovely. What a great gift. Aside from living to be 90 and having a great daughter, he has this beautiful memory quilt. Love it!

So sorry, I should have read the rest of the comments before asking these questions. Thank you for sharing. Y

Really great job!

Wonderful quilt!

Beautiful quilt!! There is nothing better than covering up with memories!! Happy Birthday to your Dad!

MAN OH MAN. Priceless. That is FAB U LESS. How proud your Dad must be. You did a super great job. I salute you. BrendaK

How did you get such sharp, clear pictures. They look like the real photo. What fabric did you like best and did you print them yourself?
