I know I talked about this in chat several times and it's been one heck of a long time getting it done but here it is.

I took close up of the blocks so you could see them better so bear with me on up loading them. There are 18 pictures.

One last remark I forgot to add. This is Christmas present for my 14 yr old GD so I plan to put a note in with it that reads:
"This is the only man you are allowed to snuggle up and sleep with"

She has such a good sense of humor I know she will laugh her butt off.

this measures about 83 x 70

Love it! How original!

Wow, amazing. Nice job!

Two thoughts here:
That is a very creative, beautiful quilt.
You have made a tribute to a beautiful human being.

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thanks so much for sharing. :)

I hope my grandson doesn't see this, he will want one.

Great job! Nobody else will have one like it! Love all the bright colors and photos! Well worth the wait!

This really truly is a awesome quilt!!!

Love it--you did a great job!!!

That's incredible! Hoorah for Bob Marley! Love the twisting on the photo "frames". Does your GD get to disregard the note when she's about 40?

Love the colors and patterns! Good job!

maybe we will re-evaluate the situation at that time. LOL

How original!! gave me ideas for my LOVER of Queen Band, 13-year-old beloved boy, :wink:
Congrats this is amazing!:D

Wow, that's a job well done! you did a great job with the block and color choices.

Very cool! She is sure to love that! :)

I predict the tears to flow when she opens this up. Wonderful job

Love love love your quilt. How did you get the pics to lay so flat. I made a memory quilt for my daughters and used stop fray as suggested and iron on fusing paper , and they still are kind of coming up from the blocks. Any suggestions? Blessings, Georgia

Wow what a beautiful tribute and quilt..can I be your granddaughter? I love Bob marley cause he say "evry little ting gonna be awright"!

I can only imagine how thrilled your grand daughter is going to be when she sees this quilt. Does she have any idea this is on it's way into her Christmas stocking? She may faint. This is one absolutely awesome quilt. I love every piece of it, the fabrics, photos, pattern, just everything. She will never forget the feeling she has when she opens this. So special.

Great job - I love the wording on it.

Awesome tribute quilt! Love everything about it, colors...blocks....layout of pics. Awesome gift! She will have a treasure witht this quilt. She must be one awesome lady to you!

I love the way you put this together. Best "photo" quilt I have ever seen! Your GD will have a treasure forever!

As I was glimpsing at all the new entrees quickly this morning, I took a double-take on this one! It is so creative and thoughtful! I find each of the blocks so interesting and a wonderful gift for your gd. Had to laugh at seesaw2mch's thoughtful question about disregarding the note at 40! haha -

Wow! that is wonderful! Very creative! She's going to love it.

So Unique! She will adore it!

what an awesome quilt!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She will be very happy. What a great quilt. Great job

Wow! He would be honored!

You captured the essence of Bob Marley in the colors and shapes of the blocks. Looking closely at each block I can see the love and imagination put into this, well, masterpiece. On some level it's more than a quilt. If you can figure out how, I hope you consider sending these photos to Bob Marley's relatives. I'm sure they would love to see it. There might be a fan club site that could point you in the right direction. Congratulations on a beautiful quilt and job well done.

OMG...an Heirloom for sure, that is one amazing quilt!!
