Ask your dad if you can make copies of some of his photos. Ideally, take them to a scanner. But to copy them where he is, use a tripod and good light. Either a digital or film camera will work. If you use a film camera, ask for copies on a CD when you have them developed.
Or, if you're asking where to see quilts with photos on them, just google quilts with photos. there are family tree quilts, memory quilts,
Here's one link
