My quilts for DH have been phote quilts. When he turned 60 I put photos of all the grand kids (9) on a wall hanging and one with his his birth certificate, photos of his folkd and photos of his when he was young.
For his 70th I repeated grand kids (smaller photos) and great grand kids (19 in all). they hand in our hall way and I frequently find him just standing and looking at the photos. Makes my heart sing.
