Here is a photo quilt I made for a customer that wanted a quilt done in colors of the period of when her parents married, which she thought ancient times, lol.
Since she had very limited funds, and wanted even the pics on muslin...I gave her options for a smaller quilt with more photos.
Later, all she could get was a torn photo of her parents wedding day photo.
So, liking the lady (girl actually, not long out of high school)...I made this queen size quilt from unbleached muslin (even the pic is on unbleached muslin) & some 40's to 80's prints I had on hand, a few of which I tea dyed, after treating the fabrics with Bubble Jet Set 2000 (to insure the tea dye would be permanent...and it worked!).
The one photo Misty had was missing the bottom left 1/4 of the photo, and had a rip up to the mom's eye. I used three different photo editing softwares to fix the photo, turned it to sepia tone, and printed on the muslin using BJSet2000 to treat the muslin first.
This quilt cost Misty $260.00 three years ago.

Photo about finished. I still had to finish the center bottom (bride doll part of centerpiece). Customer also got a printout of the photo restored so she could fool her parents into thinking that was the gift!
