A couple of you have asked how I got my pictures on fabric, etc. I scanned pictures into my computer and printed them out on pre-treated fabrics for photos. Since I wanted more options, I bought solution and treated my own fabrics, but it was a pain to do frankly. I also made some collage pages that I scanned and these became backgrounds for my flying geese and such. Things like letters, artwork, pictures...all from my mom's history. After printing these out, I used them as I would any fabric as backgrounds. It makes the quilt more interesting to me.

Thank you again everyone for your thoughtful and kind comments!
