Completed Quilt
 
2 Attachment(s)
I don't work quickly, so I've not shared many projects. However, since I enjoy seeing what the rest of you have done and often are inspired to try new ideas, new patterns, etc., thought I'd share mine. Been working several days on attaching photos. Maybe I finally have solved the puzzle.

This was a gift for a friend who is a professional photographer. It highlights his work. Took some searching to find what I wanted for a label; am happy with the result.

Very neat quilt! I don't work very fast either and I have yet to successfully attached pictures without help. It isn't how fast you can do a quilt but how you enjoy the process. You did a wonderful job on it and the recipient will love it!

What a great, lovely personalized present.

I love the B&W photos on that vibrant blue background.

I'm sure he'll be thrilled with it.

Very clever! What a great way to display his work. Love the label.

Great job....the simplicity of the design really highlights the photographs. Great label and back too. You may not be "fast" (me too), but speed isn't everything....it's the end result that's important.

I love it! what kind of process was used for the photos? I tried a cotton sheet that you use in a inkjet printer but the first time it was washed it started ti peel off.....

I used the packaged June Tailor "Sew-In Colorfast Fabric Sheets for Ink Jet Printers". I had used this type fabric sheet on another project and thought they were a bit thin. The ones I used on this project were stiffer (not at all cuddly). All in all I prefer the "heft" of these to the flimsiness of the others. They worked well in the printer. I gave a printed sheet a test wash (by hand, not in the machine) and didn't notice any loss of color. I'm happy with this product.

Thanks for the info on fabric sheets. I will hunt them down!
