hi bluebird - the sayings are purchased from the local quilt shop. there were about 12 (?) of them. i used my favorite 6. they were only 5" squares so i had to add the inch to make them 6" finished blocks.
the pictures were edited using photoshop with the vignette feature and printed on kona cotton. the pictures aren't actually sewn into the quilt. i made 'photo corners' for those blocks and stabilizer/interfacing on the back of them. they just slide into their spot and when the quilt needs washed or we want to change out the pictures, we just take them out.
