I often make quilts using photos. Go to Kinkos and have them scan and then blow it up to the size you want. Cut out the pcs and fuse and finish as you please. My avatar is a work in progress done that way. It now has a couple of scuba divers added. I'll finally be ready to quilt it very soon for my hubbys birthday. The family crest is a good idea for our family reunion's silent auction next year. Thanks for the idea.
