since i did mine yrs ago, i actually took squares of fabric to a printing place and they had one of those large ironing machines (like t-shirt places have) and made copies of my photos (which i had placed on 8x11 paper) and ironed them onto my fabric for me. I just cut them up and made my quilt.
now i know about Bubble Jet set and all the special fabrics and would do them myself from my computer. I didn't sew through the photos, nor iron over them.
