Weste, I used the double irish chain pattern. In the light colored center blocks I machine appliqued the pictures on. Also, at the bottom of each picture I appliqued their names and their childrens names. Like Charlie married Anna Marie Children: Lisa, Sam etc. If you don't have the double irish chain pattern I will be glad to p.m. you with it or send it to you in mail or e-mail. However you are most comfortable with. It is really a very easy pattern and so easy to quilt. You can put anything in the blocks. I just scanned pictures on my computer and printed out the things I wanted on each block then appliqued them on. So simple. That is the most inexpensive way. The other way ios to take your pictures and blocks to a copy place and they will put them on for you but it cost from 2 to 4 dollars a block.Let me know if you need the pattern.
