Thanks duster, yes I have the pictures on a cd that the mom burned the pictures to it, so if I understand you, there are places that will print the pictures to fabric? I then will rip, YAK!! the quilt apart and resew it. i think this will work,I just have to find a place that does the printing to fabric, does this hold up well with washings? I really can't make a wall hanging as it is a full size quilt and he really wants to sleep under it. Now I have to do some calling around to se where they do this kind of printing, do you know of any place that does this? Thanks everyone for your help on this new project for me.

I would then take the quilt top apart, remove the picture fabrics, and replace them with the new ones, put the quilt back together just like it was when new, but quilt it and sew on a real binding. That should give him essentially the same quilt as before, but with images that will last much longer. And it wouldn't be that difficult for you.
