I think that a photo quilt might be fun using this technique. Take the photo, scan it into the computer, print it, stamp it onto a poly blend quilting fabric. You could put all the family members on there, including pics of people that are no longer with us. A family tree quilt!
You could also do your own artwork in Photoshop and transfer it onto fabric. That was my experience. I took old, vintage scarves, laces, dresses, etc. and examined their designs and then thoroughly reworked those designs to make them my own. The look was very vintage.
