You can buy pretreated fabric on which to print the photos, or pretreat it yourself using a product called Bubble Jet Set (although it's for an ink jet printer not an old bubble jet printer). I bought the kind specifically made for HP printers. You can search online for it. You soak the fabric in the solution first (pour the remaining solution back into the bottle), let it dry, and iron it onto freezer paper before putting it through the printer. After the ink has dried awhile (30 minutes?), iron it again (I figure the heat helps set the ink), then take off the freezer paper and wash the piece in a setting solution like Retayne (or you can get a setting solution with the Bubble Jet Set). Dry, iron it again. I'm fairly confident the ink is pretty set by then, although I don't know if it could go through a hundred washings.
OR, you can buy the pretreated fabric ready to put through the printer. I still recommend ironing it after, and using a setting solution.

What a beautiful quilt. My youngest sister's husband died this past Christmas and I would love to make a quilt like this for her. Would you share your pattern/instructions with me? Thank you.

I agree! That paisley is downright yummy! And you were so sweet & thoughtful to make this quilt for your almost-kin folk. I know she loves & treasures it!
