Does anyone know how to put a quilt together using different size photo's. elise
|
I did one several years ago and what I did was to adjust the borders around the block so all the blocks ended up the same size. Some were horizontal, some vertical. It looked good when done.
|
Ditto.

Do a layout on paper first, just cut colored paper in miniature to size, arrange on "sized down" quilt top you want to make and then fill in the gaps with appropriate sashing and blocks.Usually 1 foot to 1 inch works for me.

Is there a particular type fabric needed for this type of quilt (with pictures)? Thanks
|
I used prepared fabric from the LQS but some people make their own with butchers paper. There are lots of hints on the threads here.
|
I have made several memory quilts. What I do is cut the fabric in the same size squares. Then I iron the pictures to the center of the fabric. I printed phots from my computer onto iron on transfer paper. It works for me. The last one I made was form my DSIL for her 60th birthday. It made her cry. I am bad! LOL

How do I actually get the pictures transfered to the fabric? Thanks

thank you

I already have the pictures on fabric, ready to sew into a quilt wanting to know how to set it all together I'm thinking log cabin around them or something else.
|
I use regular transfer paper and iron the picture onto the fabric. It doesn't cost as much and can get the paper at Walmarts. Make sure you wash the fabric before applying the pictures.

Thank you Joyce. I'll make a list of what I need NOW b4 I forget it.....
|
LOG Cabin design would be great especially for older photos.
