I made a quilt using photos from our son's wedding. They were printed on an ink jet printer. The kids have had the quilt for 4 years and it has had a lot of use. It lays over the back of their sofa and gets pulled down to cover sleeping children (or Mom or Dad) and has even been used for "tent building" by our grandsons. The quilt has been washed numerous times and the photos, although faded, are still very much visible. Our daughter in law says it's starting to look like the photos are sepia-toned and she loves it! I think our idea is great!
