I'll say it came out really neat. Great job.

The picture is a print that was given to me. I created a flange in the "quilt" into which I could slide the picture.

I would love to see a tutorial on this. Was it hard putting the binding on the inside of the opening?

When I do another one, I'll try to document it as a tutorial.

That's not a binding, it's a flange. Just a folded strip of fabric sewn into place.

Thanks so much for sharing this! I did have some photos framed recently and it WAS expensive...so expensive that I only had two done (and together in one frame at that), and forewent having the other four or so framed. Now I know what I'm going to do with those other four! Yay! Thanks again!
