What about doing the grid from seam up to the photos but not going through any of the prints and then a meander in the borders?
Im a beginner, very new to quilting so not sure this suggestion is of any help or would even work. It is something I am thinking of doing with my Tee shirt quilt when I get it done. I just started getting mine cut out but put it away for a bit to finish a blue jean quilt that I need done before this weekend for a friend of mine whose hubby is going away for a month for stem cell transplant treatment for cancer.
