Not sure if I done this right. Any suggestions on how I should have this quilted.

Oh you did a fabulous job! I really love the way the photos blend in with the other fabrics, they look like they belong there instead of standing out hollering 'look at me!' What is the name of the block you used?

Can you SITD around the photos then do something different in the other areas? I'm very challenged when it comes to figuring out how to quilt something.

Great quilt top! Are you sending it to a long armer? Many have books that you can look through to choose a design. If he worked for the railroad perhaps train tracks around the blocks with the pictures?

Love what you made. I might consider what their occupations or loves might be and add that into the quilting. It will be really special whatever!
