The idea to put the pictures in the circles was my idea! :-D , but the circles were there in the pattern... so, yes and no ;)

Your quilt is fabulous! What pattern did you use? I think this is something my son would love!

That is beautiful. Love the circles.

The pattern is called "Cheery O" and can be found at www.eaglesnestdesigns.com You will find it under crib and lap quilts. I sure had fun making it.

He will love this. It will mean even more as he grows older.
What a treasure and a good way to exhibit photos that we normally hide in a box.

I love your quilt. I am making my first memory quilt(rectangular) for my dad's 80th and now I think that mines boring. Wish I'd thought of circles or seen yours first!

I'm sure yours will be beautiful!! I wish my Dad were here so I could make him one. And to tell you the truth, I'm planning on doing another one... and think I will do rectangles and squares. This one was a definite challenge. Although I'm pleased with the way it turned out... *whew*... what it took out of me! :roll: He is worth it though... no doubt about that. Thank you for your kind comments.

Very nice! Your son will love it!

pennyswings 08-29-2010 03:38 PM

That came out so great. Love the design you made. He should love it.

mrstackett 08-29-2010 03:57 PM

VERY VERY NICE!!! I LOVE THIS!!

I love the quilt. Specially how you did the borders around each picture. It gives me ideas on what to do with my gd quilt that I am going to make. She is into dancing and I have several of her dancing pictures that I am going to put on a quilt. Am sure you will get it done by the time his birthday arrives. Wil you be doing the quilting yourself?

mypatookis 08-29-2010 05:33 PM

I will not be doing the quilting myself. I have only been quilting for about a year now and the only pieces I have quilted myself have been small wall hangings and table runners. I would really like the end result to be nice, so for me, this isn't the time to practice. :oops: I challenged myself enough just getting those circles in there! :shock: I am sending it out next week. Then I just have to put the binding on. I appreciate all the kind comments. Thanks :D

Sue your son's quilt is fabulous! I share his birthday too if it is October 20th!

katesnanna 08-29-2010 09:45 PM

Wow. I love the way you have done this. Have never seen a picture quilt done like this. Well done.

annette1952 08-29-2010 09:51 PM

I love the quilt! I really like the red & black. Also the round pics instead of square. Your son will love it!I made a memory quilt for my brother last year. Alot of fun to do.
