I have made a few photo quilts, I usually quilt my own quilts.That being said I do not quilt over any pictures. I do not want stitches going across any ones face. I had one professionally quilted and she did as I do. Quilted up to the photo and stopped, then Skipped ahead. and started the quilting. I looked fine. I am afraid of offending someone if I quilt over there picture, human or animal.
